AudioRecorder Plugin

Record MPEG4/AAC encoded audio from your hybrid app.

Audio is recorded at 44.1kHz with a bitrate of 32kbps, which is good enough for speech.

This plugin defines a global ( navigator.device.audiorecorder ) object which you can use to access the public API.

Plugin

Although audiorecorder is globally acessible, it isn't usable until deviceready event is called.

As with all the cordova plugins, you can listen to deviceready event as follows:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    // ...
}

Supported Platforms

• iOS
• Android

Installation

• Run the following command:

    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-audio-recorder
