I am developing a simple web application which only records a voice from microphone but I have some trouble.

HTML5 voice recording function works well on chrome and firefox desktop or android. But while using mobile browsers on iPhone even chrome and firefox it doesn't work.

I tried recorder.js and result did not change.

Is it possible to recording voice on safari or it is a missing function of safari or iOS?
