Record audio in iOS or Android React Native apps.
Playback support was removed in favor of using more mature libraries like react-native-sound
Install the npm package and link it to your project:
npm install react-native-audio --save
react-native link react-native-audio
On iOS you need to add a usage description to Info.plist:
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This sample uses the microphone to record your speech and convert it to text.</string>
On Android you need to add a permission to AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
In the AudioExample directory:
npm install
react-native run-ios
react-native run-android
NOTE: Progress reporting is iOS only for now.
To record in AAC format, at 22050 KHz in low quality mono:
import {AudioRecorder, AudioUtils} from 'react-native-audio';
let audioPath = AudioUtils.DocumentDirectoryPath + '/test.aac';
AudioRecorder.prepareRecordingAtPath(audioPath, {
SampleRate: 22050,
Channels: 1,
AudioQuality: "Low",
AudioEncoding: "aac"
});
SampleRate: int
Channels: int
AudioQuality: string
AudioEncoding: string
Encodings supported on iOS: lpcm, ima4, aac, MAC3, MAC6, ulaw, alaw, mp1, mp2, alac, amr

MP3 recording is not supported since the underlying platforms do not support it.
