Ionic is a cross-platform mobile framework that allows you to develop for Android and iOS using just HTML and JavaScript. Thanks to the inclusion of Cordova, Ionic developers have access to numerous plugins to extend the functionality of our apps. For example, we can access the device microphone with the Cordova microphone plugin.

In this Coffee Break Course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Reggie Dawson will show you two methods to access the microphone from your Ionic app. You'll see how to access the device's built-in recording application as well as how to access the microphone directly from your application.

This is the second course in a series on accessing device functionality with Ionic and Cordova. You may also be interested in:
