What Is Audio Recorder?
The Audio Recorder captures audio from your microphone directly in the browser. Click to start recording, speak or play audio, and download the result. The recorder uses the MediaRecorder API with real-time waveform visualization showing your audio levels as you record. Perfect for quick voice memos, sound captures, meeting notes, or any situation where you need to record audio without installing software. The recorded audio is saved as a high-quality audio file. Everything stays in your browser — recordings are never uploaded.

Technical Guide
The recorder uses navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() to access the microphone with audio constraints. The audio stream is connected to a MediaRecorder instance configured with a supported MIME type (audio/webm;codecs=opus is preferred for quality and compression). During recording, the dataavailable event collects Blob chunks that are assembled into the final recording. Simultaneously, an AnalyserNode connected to the audio stream provides real-time amplitude data for the waveform visualization, rendered on a canvas using requestAnimationFrame(). The recording timer tracks elapsed time. On stop, the chunks are assembled into a complete Blob and offered for download. For WAV output, the audio stream is also captured via a ScriptProcessorNode or AudioWorklet to collect raw PCM samples.
