"Voice Notes" Updated for AIR 2 GA

June 16, 2010 By 31 Comments

To mark the official release of AIR 2, I’m upgrading the samples I built during the beta, starting today with “Voice Notes”.

Voice Notes is a sample application that leverages the new Microphone API. The application lets you record voice notes and store them in a SQLite database so that you can replay them later.

Make sure you have the AIR 2 runtime installed (you can download the AIR 2 runtime here), and install the application using the badge below:
