Audio Recording(Accessing microphone) using HTML5 in mobile browsers

Question

Can we access microphone of mobile to record our voice using HTML5?

I was trying this link:

where I get

< input type="file" accept="audio/*;capture=microphone">

I used the following input tag to access microphone but it didnt worked in the HTML viewer of device.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Which browser are you using? You can use getUserMedia rather than input type="file". This demos works in Chrome desktop: http://jsfiddle.net/GD63T/2/ but to work in Chrome for android you have to turn it on using chrome://flags

navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||     navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia;

var audio = document.querySelector('audio');

if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
    navigator.getUserMedia({
        audio: true,
        video: false
    }, function (stream) {
       audio.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
    }, onFailSoHard);
} else {
    alert("sorry, not supported in your browser");
}
