AudioRecorder

Audio recorder from microphone to a given file path. Works on macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android and web. Based on the record Dart/Flutter package.

note

On Linux, encoding is provided by fmedia which must be installed separately.

AudioRecorder control is non-visual and should be added to page.overlay list.

Packaging

To build your Flet app that uses AudioRecorder control add --include-packages flet_audio_recorder to flet build command, for example:

flet build apk --include-packages flet_audio_recorder

Examples​

Basic Example​

import flet as ft

async def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.horizontal_alignment = ft.CrossAxisAlignment.CENTER
    page.appbar = ft.AppBar(title=ft.Text("Audio Recorder"), center_title=True)

    path = "test-audio-file.wav"

    async def handle_start_recording(e):
        print(f"StartRecording: {path}")
        await audio_rec.start_recording_async(path)

    async def handle_stop_recording(e):
        output_path = await audio_rec.stop_recording_async()
        print(f"StopRecording: {output_path}")
        if page.web and output_path is not None:
            await page.launch_url_async(output_path)

    async def handle_list_devices(e):
        devices = await audio_rec.get_input_devices_async()
        print(devices)

    async def handle_has_permission(e):
        try:
            print(f"HasPermission: {await audio_rec.has_permission_async()}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)

    async def handle_pause(e):
        print(f"isRecording: {await audio_rec.is_recording_async()}")
        if await audio_rec.is_recording_async():
            await audio_rec.pause_recording_async()

    async def handle_resume(e):

        if await audio_rec.is_paused_async():
            await audio_rec.resume_recording_async()

    async def handle_audio_encoding_test(e):
        for i in list(ft.AudioEncoder):
            print(f"{i}: {await audio_rec.is_supported_encoder_async(i)}")

    async def handle_state_change(e):
        print(f"State Changed: {e.data}")

    audio_rec = ft.AudioRecorder(
        audio_encoder=ft.AudioEncoder.WAV,
        on_state_changed=handle_state_change,
    )
    page.overlay.append(audio_rec)
    await page.update_async()

    await page.add_async(
        ft.ElevatedButton("Start Audio Recorder", on_click=handle_start_recording),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Stop Audio Recorder", on_click=handle_stop_recording),
        ft.ElevatedButton("List Devices", on_click=handle_list_devices),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Pause Recording", on_click=handle_pause),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Resume Recording", on_click=handle_resume),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Test AudioEncodings", on_click=handle_audio_encoding_test),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Has Permission", on_click=handle_has_permission),
    )

Properties​

note

Not all properties are supported on all platforms. Please check this platform-feature parity matrix for more information on which properties are supported on which platforms.

audio_encoder​

The audio encoder to be used for recording.

Value is of type AudioEncoder and defaults to AudioEncoder.WAV.

See this for a detailed overview on the encodings supported by each platform.

auto_gain​

The recorder will try to auto adjust recording volume in a limited range.

Value is of type bool and defaults to False.

bit_rate​

The audio encoding bit rate in bits per second.

Value is of type OptionalNumber and defaults to 128000.

cancel_echo​

The recorder will try to reduce echo.

Value is of type bool defaults to False.

channels_num​

The numbers of channels for the recording. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo.

Defaults to 2.

sample_rate​

The sample rate for audio in samples per second.

Value is of type OptionalNumber and defaults to 44100.

suppress_noise​

The recorder will try to negates the input noise.

Value is of type bool and defaults to False.

Methods​

cancel_recording()​

Stops and discards/deletes the file/blob.

get_input_devices()​

Returns a dictionary whose values are the input devices available on the platform.

has_permission()​

Checks (and optionally requests) for audio record permission.

is_paused()​

Checks if recording session is paused.

is_recording()​

Checks if there's a valid recording session. Note that if the recording session is paused, this method will still return True.

is_supported_encoder(encoder)​

Checks if the given encoder is supported on the current platform.

pause()​

Pauses recording session.

resume()​

Resumes recording session after pause.

seek(position_milliseconds)​

Moves the cursor to the desired position.

start_recording(output_path)​

Starts new recording session on the specified output_path. On platforms other than web, the output_path must be provided.

stop_recording()​

Stops recording session and release internal recorder resource. It returns a string which is the location of the recorded file. On web, it returns the blob which could be opened using page.lauch_url(). On other platforms, it returns the path to the file which is the output_path parameter passed to start_recording() method.

Events​

on_state_changed​

Fires when audio recorder's state changes.

Event handler argument is of type AudioRecorderStateChangeEvent.
