Las nuevas API de audio en HTML5. How to record audio in Chrome with native HTML5 APIs. Two weeks ago a new version of Chrome was released. Google switched from the default Adobe’s Flash Player to an in-house developed version called “Pepper Flash”. Unfortunately Pepper Flash has a problem with audio recording, resulting in distorted audio on almost all Macs.

Capturing Audio & Video in HTML5. Many browsers now have the ability to access video and audio input from the user. However, depending on the browser it might be a full dynamic and inline experience, or it could be delegated to another app on the user's device.
On top of that, not every device even has a camera. So how can you create an experience that uses a user generated image that works well everywhere? Start simple and progressively If you want to progressively enhance your experience, you need to start with something that works everywhere. Ask for a URL This is the best supported but least satisfying option. Though, if you want to manipulate the image in any way, things are a bit more complicated.
