Well I really appreciate your "first of its kind thought" comment. We always strive to add new engagement activities. Javascript has created a bridge between the player and the outer coding paradise.
I'm very interested in this and can imagine a number of uses. My first reaction was how it could potentially be used for ESOL (English for Speakers of a Second Language) learning: Learners comparing correct pronunciation to their own pronunciation.
I just tested it at the link you gave with my Windows 7 laptop and onboard microphone...in a hurry so this was just a quick test.
There was much more background noise than I typically experience w/my onboard mic. Looking forward to having some time in a few days to try it with a USB mic.
How do I get to see what happens when clicking on Continue? Sorry if I'm missing something!
Looking forward to seeing how you did this. I posted a simple example of how to do this a while ago. I'll dig up mine when I am next back at my computer just to give you another option.

Hi Rebecca,
Agreed about the noise, I enable noise cancellation in mine, and it was bearable
The continue button passes a value back to storyline. Detecting the variable change, the player moves to next layer/ screen.

I just had an opportunity to record my audio with the Samson Condenser mic I use for recordings with both of your tools. Tx so much for sharing. In both cases there was a bit of a hum, slightly louder with your tool, Kawstov. Otherwise, I think it's pretty cool.
Nancy, did you implement this in a course? If so, can you share more about how you used it?
I'm designing a foreign language course where I'd like to have the learners record their responses and submit them to the instructor. The catch is that the course has to work in Sakai as well as a variety of browsers and on mobile devices. Do you think this option would work?

Awesome! Super interested in seeing how did this. Thanks for offering to share your source files!
Hi Leon,
Super excited by ur interest. Was going to to write the steps and upload the files. But since u wanted one, here is the source.
Right now, really swamped by some deliverables. You can expect the process within 4-5 days. Till then, u can explore the files.

hmmm Seems a first of its kind thought.
Now the user can record their voice as well!

Here is a link to my example.

All I did was embed this widget from vocaroo. Super easy.

Thanks Kawstov for sharing!
Also, James welcome to the Heroes community!
Nice share Nancy! I did test vocaroo. However since ours is a commercial course, and I wanted to reduce third party dependency.
So I made an HTML that can be uploaded on our platform itself. Of course the code is open source.

Very cool Kawstov. I am looking forward to dissecting your solution.

Thanx for the feedback Rebecca!
Unable to help with humming, right now. Some more digging is needed.
Will let u know for sure, if something comes up.

Dear Gayla,
As long as the browser supports FLASH (not HTML5), this option is OK, to go ahead.

Kawstov
What about mobile devices--especially iOS. We need to be able to also save as HTML 5.
Unable to do the detailed digging, but I think, this might help you.
