Here is the resume of the code:
var client = new BinaryClient('ws://localhost:9001');
var context = null;
var store_data = null;
//(.....)
if (!navigator.getUserMedia)
navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia;
if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
navigator.getUserMedia({audio:true}, success, function(e) {
alert('Error capturing audio.');
});
} else alert('getUserMedia not supported in this browser.');
function success(e) {
audioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
context = new audioContext();
audioInput = context.createMediaStreamSource(e);
var bufferSize = 2048;
store_data = context.createScriptProcessor(bufferSize, 1, 1);
//(...)
}
//(....)
client.on('open', function() {
console.log("createStream");
Stream = client.createStream(command_list);
var recording = false;
window.startRecording = function() {
document.getElementById("startbutton").disabled = true;
document.getElementById("stopbutton").disabled = false;
recording = true;
window.Stream.resume();
}
window.stopRecording = function() {
document.getElementById("startbutton").disabled = false;
document.getElementById("stopbutton").disabled = true;
recording = false
//window.Stream.end();
window.Stream.pause();
}
store_data.onaudioprocess = function(e){ //<---line of the error
if(!recording) return;
console.log ('recording');
var left = e.inputBuffer.getChannelData(0);
window.Stream.write(convertoFloat32ToInt16(left));
}
//(..events generated from server..)
In chrome my code works just fine. In Mozilla I am getting always the error "store data is undefined". Any idea why? Because I am declaring store_data as global and when getusermedia is a sucess the value is changed.
Without knowing what calls the success function, it's difficult to say exactly, but I am fairly sure you want your client.on('open') listener to be contingent on the success function running.
I don't know how it will affect the rest of the omitted code, but I would only connect the BinaryClient when the success function has run and you are sure you have store_data defined.
function success() {
var client = new BinaryClient('ws://localhost:9001');
var context = null;
var store_data = null;
// do the original success code here
// now create that listener.
client.on('open', function() {
// do original code here
});
}
// you probably have a line of code that looks like this
navigator.getUserMedia({}, success);
Moving all of your code into the success function may work, but it won't be elegant. Once you've got the flow working, I would suggest refactoring the code, by splitting each logical bit up into its own function.
Yes it's a race. Your code must wait until getUserMedia succeeds and open is fired.
Promises are a great way to solve this:
<script src="https://webrtc.github.io/adapter/adapter-latest.js"></script>
(Use the above polyfill to access modern getUserMedia in all supported browsers.)
var client = new BinaryClient('ws://localhost:9001');
var context = null;
var store_data = null;
//(.....)
var haveStoreData = navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio:true})
.then(function(stream) {
audioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
context = new audioContext();
audioInput = context.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
var bufferSize = 2048;
return context.createScriptProcessor(bufferSize, 1, 1);
});
//(....)
client.on('open', function() {
console.log("opened");
haveStoreData.then(function(store_data) {
console.log("createStream");
Stream = client.createStream(command_list);
var recording = false;
window.startRecording = function() {
document.getElementById("startbutton").disabled = true;
document.getElementById("stopbutton").disabled = false;
recording = true;
window.Stream.resume();
};
window.stopRecording = function() {
document.getElementById("startbutton").disabled = false;
document.getElementById("stopbutton").disabled = true;
recording = false;
//window.Stream.end();
window.Stream.pause();
};
store_data.onaudioprocess = function(e){
if(!recording) return;
console.log ('recording');
var left = e.inputBuffer.getChannelData(0);
window.Stream.write(convertoFloat32ToInt16(left));
};
//(..events generated from server..)
})
.catch(function(e) { console.error(e); });
});
This will give users time to choose "Allow" in the mic permission prompt (Unlike Chrome, Firefox asks the user for permission every time, unless they choose "Always Allow").
var client = new BinaryClient('ws://193.136.94.233:9001');
var context = null;

Here is the solution to stream with BinaryJS with Chrome an Mozilla. Thanks to #jib and #Kaiido
I'm trying to get a stream of data from my microphone (ex. volume, pitch).
For now, I've been using getUserMedia to access my microphone audio.
But I couldn't find a way to extract the data from it.
My code :
$(function () {
var audioContext = new AudioContext();
var audioInput = null,
realAudioInput = null,
inputPoint = null,
analyserNode = null;
if (!navigator.getUserMedia)
navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia;
if (navigator.getUserMedia){
navigator.getUserMedia({audio:true}, success, function(e) {
alert('Error capturing audio.');
});
} else alert('getUserMedia not supported in this browser.');
function success(stream){
inputPoint = audioContext.createGain();
realAudioInput = audioContext.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
audioInput = realAudioInput;
audioInput.connect(inputPoint);
analyserNode = audioContext.createAnalyser();
analyserNode.fftSize = 2048;
inputPoint.connect( analyserNode );
}
function live(){
requestAnimationFrame(live);
var freqByteData = new Uint8Array(analyserNode.frequencyBinCount);
analyserNode.getByteFrequencyData(freqByteData);
console.log(analyserNode.frequencyBinCount);
}
});
Here is a version of your code which does two things :
retrieves raw PCM audio buffer from the live microphone which is sent to console.log (to show javascript console hit ctrl-shift-i ), this is the PCM raw audio curve of streaming mic audio data in the time domain.
It also runs this same audio data into a FFT (fast Fourier transform) which is also sent to console.log, this is the frequency domain representation of the same Web Audio API event loop buffer
NOTE - either wear headphones OR turn down your speaker volume otherwise you will hear the squeal of audio feedback as the mic will pickup speaker audio a la Jimmy Hendrix !

I'm looking for a browser-based way of recording until a silence occurs.
HTML audio recording from the microphone is possible in Firefox and Chrome - using
Recordmp3js see:
http://nusofthq.com/blog/recording-mp3-using-only-html5-and-javascript-recordmp3-js/
and the code on github: http://github.com/nusofthq/Recordmp3js
I can't see a way to change that code to record until silence.
Record until silence can be done (and tuned) using Java for a native Android App - see here:
Android audio capture silence detection
Google Voice Search demonstrates a browser can doit - but how can I using Javascript?
Any ideas?
If you use the Web Audio API, open up a live microphone audio capture by making a call to : navigator.getUserMedia , then create a node using : createScriptProcessor, then you assign to that node a callback for its event : onaudioprocess . Inside your callback function (below I use script_processor_analysis_node) you have access to the live real-time audio buffer to which you can then parse looking for silence (some length of time where amplitude is low [stays close to zero]).
for normal time domain audio curve see : array_time_domain
which is populated fresh upon each call to callback script_processor_analysis_node ... similarly for frequency domain see array_freq_domain
Turn down your speaker volume or use headphones to avoid feedback from mic -> speaker -> mic ...

This is an old post but I am sure many will have the same problem so I am posting my solution here.
Use hark.js
Below is sample demo code i used for my electron app
hark = require('./node_modules/hark/hark.bundle.js')
navigator.getUserMedia({ audio : true}, onMediaSuccess, function(){});
function onMediaSuccess(blog) {
var options = {};
var speechEvents = hark(blog, options);
speechEvents.on('speaking', function() {
console.log('speaking');
});
speechEvents.on('stopped_speaking', function() {
console.log('stopped_speaking');
});
};
The solution from #Scott Stensland doesn't allow me to parse for silence. I am getting the same value for when I parse the two arrays - that is I'm getting 0 always when parsing arrayFreqDomain and 128 always when parsing arrayTimeDomain
let analyser = context.createAnalyser();
analyser.smoothingTimeConstant = 0;
analyser.fftSize = 2048;
let buffLength = analyser.frequencyBinCount;
let arrayFreqDomain = new Uint8Array(buffLength);
let arrayTimeDomain = new Uint8Array(buffLength);
processor.connect(analyser);
processor.onaudioprocess = (event) => {
/**
*
* Parse live real-time buffer looking for silence
*
**/
analyser.getByteFrequencyData(arrayFreqDomain);
analyser.getByteTimeDomainData(arrayTimeDomain);
if (context.state === "running") {
let sizeBuffer = arrayTimeDomain.length;
let index = 0;
for (; index < 5 && index < sizeBuffer; index += 1) {
console.log(arrayTimeDomain[index]); <----
}
}
}
What I ultimately want to do is record from the user's microphone, and upload the file to the server when they're done. So far, I've managed to make a stream to an element with the following code:
var audio = document.getElementById("audio_preview");
navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia;
navigator.getUserMedia({video: false, audio: true}, function(stream) {
audio.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
}, onRecordFail);
var onRecordFail = function (e) {
console.log(e);
}
How do I go from that, to recording to a file?
There is a fairly complete recording demo available at: http://webaudiodemos.appspot.com/AudioRecorder/index.html
It allows you to record audio in the browser, then gives you the option to export and download what you've recorded.
You can view the source of that page to find links to the javascript, but to summarize, there's a Recorder object that contains an exportWAV method, and a forceDownload method.

Update now Chrome also supports MediaRecorder API from v47. The same thing to do would be to use it( guessing native recording method is bound to be faster than work arounds), the API is really easy to use, and you would find tons of answers as to how to upload a blob for the server.
Demo - would work in Chrome and Firefox, intentionally left out pushing blob to server...
Code Source
Currently, there are three ways to do it:
as wav[ all code client-side, uncompressed recording], you can check out --> Recorderjs. Problem: file size is quite big, more upload bandwidth required.
as mp3[ all code client-side, compressed recording], you can check out --> mp3Recorder. Problem: personally, I find the quality bad, also there is this licensing issue.
as ogg [ client+ server(node.js) code, compressed recording, infinite hours of recording without browser crash ], you can check out --> recordOpus, either only client-side recording, or client-server bundling, the choice is yours.
ogg recording example( only firefox):
var mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(stream);
mediaRecorder.start(); // to start recording.
...
mediaRecorder.stop(); // to stop recording.
mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function(e) {
// do something with the data.
}
Fiddle Demo for ogg recording.
This is a simple JavaScript sound recorder and editor. You can try it.

The question is very old and many of the answers are not supported in the current version of the browser. I was trying to create the audio recorder using simple html, css, and js. I further went on to use the same code in electron to make a cross platform application.
<html>
<head>
<title>Recorder App</title>
</head>
<h2>Recorder App</h2>
<p>
<button type="button" id="record">Record</button>
<button type="button" id="stopRecord" disabled>Stop</button>
</p>
<p>
<audio id="recordedAudio"></audio>
</p>
<script>
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio:true})
.then(stream => {handlerFunction(stream)})
function handlerFunction(stream) {
rec = new MediaRecorder(stream);
rec.ondataavailable = e => {
audioChunks.push(e.data);
if (rec.state == "inactive"){
let blob = new Blob(audioChunks,{type:'audio/mp3'});
recordedAudio.src = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
recordedAudio.controls=true;
recordedAudio.autoplay=true;
sendData(blob)
}
}
}
function sendData(data) {}
record.onclick = e => {
record.disabled = true;
record.style.backgroundColor = "blue"
stopRecord.disabled=false;
audioChunks = [];
rec.start();
}
stopRecord.onclick = e => {
record.disabled = false;
stop.disabled=true;
record.style.backgroundColor = "red"
rec.stop();
}
</script>

The above code works in Windows 10, Mac, Linux, and obviously, on both google chrome and firefox.
You can use Recordmp3js from GitHub to achieve your requirements. You can record from user's microphone and then get the file as an mp3. Finally upload it to your server.
I used this in my demo. There is a already a sample available with the source code by the author in this location :
https://github.com/Audior/Recordmp3js
The demo is here:
http://audior.ec/recordmp3js/
But currently works only on Chrome and Firefox.
Seems to work fine and pretty simple. Hope this helps.
Here's a gitHub project that does just that.
It records audio from the browser in mp3 format, and it automatically saves it to the webserver.
https://github.com/Audior/Recordmp3js
You can also view a detailed explanation of the implementation:
http://audior.ec/blog/recording-mp3-using-only-html5-and-javascript-recordmp3-js/
Stream audio in realtime without waiting for recording to end:
https://github.com/noamtcohen/AudioStreamer
This streams PCM data but you could modify the code to stream mp3 or Speex
One line version:
What open source software (WAMI-Recorder)/web browser (via getUserMedia) will give me the best quality audio recordings?
High quality would be defined as (44.1 or 48 sample rate) and 16 bit sample size.
More Information:
So currently my solution is WAMI-Recorder, but I am wondering if the HTML5 specification has matured to a point in browser such that I can record without Flash and get equal or higher quality audio recordings. Currently it looks like WAMI maxes out at 22050.
I do not need cross browser support as this is for internal business use.
A non-Flash solution would also be preferred.
I found something here. hope it will help you to record audio

The WebRTC project is the only available solution for high quality audio that I know of. There is currently a stable version for chrome. I believe firefox is still in the beta stage. As WebRTC matures I am sure all browsers will provide support for this.

Check this tutorial on how to capture audio and video using HTML5.
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/
I don't see any reference about the sample rate or the sample size in the API's, but I would assume that will be possible.
Your major problem could be the implementation status by different browser vendors.

If you use Chrome Web Browser, and as you ask for High Quality Audio Recording, you probably be better to build a native client module, you may take a look here (chrome developper native client dev guide):
Selecting a sample frame count for an audio stream involves a tradeoff between latency and CPU usage. If you want your module to have short audio latency so that it can rapidly change what’s playing in the audio stream, you should request a small sample frame count.
[...]
After the module obtains a sample frame count, it can create an audio
configuration resource. Currently the Pepper audio API supports audio
streams with the configuration settings shown above
And here you will find audio configuration which fit your requirements
The Pepper audio API currently lets Native Client modules play audio streams with the following configurations:
sample rate: 44,100 Hz or 48,000 Hz
bit depth: 16
channels: 2 (stereo)
