Abstract

   Currently, HTML forms allow the producer of the form to request
   information, including files of data, from the operator using the
   form. However, this capability is limited because HTML forms don't
   provide a way to ask the operator to submit input from arbitrary
   sources such as audio devices like microphones. Since input and
   upload from various devices is a feature that will benefit many
   applications, this draft proposes an extension to the HTML INPUT
   type="file" form element. Motivations include language instruction
   assistance, voice transcription, and high-quality speech
   transmission under low-bandwidth conditions.
