* Question marks (?) in web column mean that the formats are supported by the plugin but are not available in current (and tested) browsers (Chrome / Firefox).

Stream

aacLc * ✔️

aacHe * ✔️
pcm16bits ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

* AAC is streamed with raw AAC with ADTS headers, so it's directly readable through a file!

All audio output is with 16bits depth.

Usage

import 'package:record/record.dart';

final record = AudioRecorder();

// Check and request permission if needed
if (await record.hasPermission()) {
  // Start recording to file
  await record.start(const RecordConfig(), path: 'aFullPath/myFile.m4a');
  // ... or to stream
  final stream = await record.startStream(const RecordConfig(AudioEncoder.pcm16bits));
}

// Stop recording...
final path = await record.stop();
// ... or cancel it (and implicitly remove file/blob).
await record.cancel();

record.dispose(); // As always, don't forget this one.
