I've done quite the searching. I know there's a lot of solutions from PhoneGap that allow people to record audio from the microphone. But what I'm looking for is a solid and simple example of how to record audio via Mobile Safari from a users microphone.

Any examples out there? There's been quite the developments in HTML5.

You can - with iOS6 now - access the camera. Just use 

<input type="file" capture="camera" accept="image/*" id="takePictureField">

I've tried with audio but so far haven't had any luck. I've got a full blog post (which yes, I know Stackoverflow frowns on) demonstrating camera access here: http://www.raymondcamden.com/index.cfm/2013/5/20/Capturing-camerapicture-data-without-PhoneGap

Apple doesn't expose the microphone or camera to the mobile browser, but they do expose location based services and motion detection (ios 4.2 and later).

  • maybe they will expose it sometime in the future? If it's part of the html5 spec then there is a chance it'll happen. You can definitely get access to the microphone from a native ios app, is that an option? – Anony372 Oct 20 '11 at 23:04
