Can you record audio on the iPhone using PhoneGap? - iphone

Is it possible to record audio on the iPhone using the PhoneGap package? And if so, are there any examples of this?

http://wiki.phonegap.com/iPhone%3A-Record-and-Playback-Audio

According to the project site: "We are working on it". Guess this means no.

This is working for me on iOS now:

Audio quality is fairly mediocre.

Phonegap record audio iPhone 4

Hi I just wondered if anyone had managed to get the iphone4 to record audio using phonegap.
I tried the example phonegap provides but was unsuccessful.
Thank you for your time

Yes. The example for PhoneGap 1.0.0 works fine for me on iOS 4.x. One catch when using the simulator at least is that the filename you record to should start documents://.

Optical character recognition on the iPhone

Is it possible on an iPhone app to take a picture and extract an string from the picture? We'd like to make our app to look for a serial number on a database (very long number) without the user having to type it.
Is there any Cocoa/Objective-C API for this or any C/C++ library that can be used in an iPhone app?
Thanks in advance!
You can have a look at the tesseract-ocr project. It's not actually made to use on an iPhone but I believe others have made great use of it on the iPhone.
Here is a demo that makes use of the tesseract ocr engine.
I was looking for something similar and came across ABBYY's mobileOCR solution
I've not used it yet and have no idea how much it is but you should be able to integrate it into your app by all accounts.
I have this in my bookmarks: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/
It has iPhone, Android and Java code to deal with image capture and bar codes.
I haven't test it yet.
Here's another implementation of Tesseract on the iPhone: http://robertcarlsen.net/dev/pocket-ocr
Tesseract-OCR now has iOS version:Tesseract-OCR-iOS

If you'd like this feature to be added, may I suggest you post a feature request at https://bugreport.apple.com/ . I think it's a good idea.
This isn't possible, unfortunately.
Only if you want to rewrite a lot of the AVFoundation framework for the Simulator environment. Currently, even the symbols aren't there.

Stream video from one iphone to another and back

I want to develop an conference application. It's basically exact the same as Facetime only with some extra features.
But how do I make a video chat from one iPhone to another iPhone LIVE like Facetime?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
OpenTok is a good way to do it.
Here's the tutorial
You can use the flash builder or just air sdk

Upload photo to arbitrary FTP with iPhone app

I'd like to upload a photo from my iphone to an arbitrary ftp. How can I do this with Cocoa / Xcode ?
Thanks!
You'll want to look into CFFTPStream in regard to the iPhone
There's a nice framework out there called ConnectionKit. I haven't used it personally, but I've heard it's good.
