Open Microphone PT 2

Only a few weeks back, Mike Chambers demonstrated the open microphone at FOTB in Brighton. At the time him and Lee weren’t allowed to say anything more specific on the topic, regarding if this will be available in the Flash Player as well. Most of us kinda figured and Adobe didn’t disappoint. At Adobe Max it was made official. Flash Player 10.1 will support the open microphone.

What is Open Microphone??
‘Open microphone’ is the term used to refer to the ability to access the raw sounddata recorded from a microphone instance in the Flash Player. Untill now this was only possible if you bounced the soundstream off the server (using Flash Media Server/RED5).

What’s so special about this?
You’ll be able to draw the soundspectrum of the microphone, you’ll be able to record the data as a bytearray and save it as a MP4 files / WAV file / whatever file to the server, you’ll be able to analyze the sound for specific words an build a Flash-driven droid that only listens to your voice and help you take over the world. Anything you want. Sky’s the limit. Go nuts.
