Hi all. Thanks Jason for the excellent links.

After somehow spending an hour reading all this, it seems like audio doesn't work yet, right? Except on Chromium "canary" on Mac. Which is something.

Mozilla's also big into this as well http://mozillapopcorn.org/ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Audio_Data_API . The latter remains Firefox-specific and Mozilla marks it as deprecated. Still, it exists.

Android has a speech API http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/03/speech-input-api-for-android.html, and implements Media Capture it seems.

As a fine alternative, and more general, http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/gstreamer seems like a sane postprocessed example.

Dear to me, that last. But doesn't one simplify all this by keeping recording off the cloud and building out the separate components?

Record ; send ; speech-to-text ; share and improve .

I do like this, Paul, the idea.

Paul,

You may want to look at WebRTC: http://www.webrtc.org/

Especially getUserMedia which allows for video capture within the
browser from a users webcam:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/

This is bleeding edge stuff and probably not ready for a real project,
but it may be that something like this enables the kind of project
you're wanting to do. Chrome seems to be out front with this last I
looked.
