Hey,

Ive trawled for hours through google for online sound recorders but i can't find any at all!

All ive managed to find is http://osflash.org/red5 but i dont understand a word of it lol.

So apart from paying $5k for the flash media server is there any other way i can record from a web browser and save it onto my server?

An alternative approach is to use the free Windows Media encoder. It won't run from a web browser but you can put the audio on a web server or stream it to a streaming server.

Im developing a website that really needs a online browser based sound recorder. So im wondering if there is anything out there that can do that?

Well your heading in the right direction, if anything Flash is probably the only thing that will do it. I have very little knowledge in flash but i know that in some of the end user flash settings, there is a few settings for your microphone/

Hmm anyone know any more on the subject or am i doomed for all eternity?

Have you tried "FlasherWave" ?

Whats that? Do you have a link? :p

No google results for flasherwave. Perhaps he made a typo when posting.

Personally, I would just write a browser extension - I'm not sure of their limitations but somehow I think that they should be able to read input from the microphone or other sound channels.

The possibilities with sound recording on websites is amazing - especially with SoundEx functions in MySQL and PHP. It's a shame that the technology for making use of this isn't more readily available (I've heard that it's out there.)
