Description Tab Atkins Jr. 2011-02-18 18:03:40 UTC
(This bug was split out from <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11796>.)

1)
Mic input type - <input type="mic" />
---------------------------------------------
will enable the browser to receive direct input from a microphone. Input is
saved in (mp3) format and
uploaded when form is submitted.
Problem it will solve : I can't think of any problem this tag will solve but I
can think of a benefit / advantage.
(Web based voice authentication). A person reads a word into Microphone and
submits it, a server side script
analyses uploaded audio file and authenticates it. This can be combined with
username and password.
