Streaming Calls to a Browser with Voice WebSockets

Demo App of Nexmo Voice API WebSockets sending call audio to a WebBrowser to playback using the Web Audio API - nexmo-community/audiosocket-demo

Streaming Calls to a Browser with Voice WebSockets launched on December 20, 2016 with 13 votes, #1,488 of 3,449 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

In plain words

This is a technical solution for routing audio streams directly to web browsers using Voice WebSockets technology. It enables real-time voice communication within browser applications by establishing WebSocket connections for audio data transmission. The project is aimed at developers building web-based communication features who need an alternative to traditional streaming methods. The implementation leverages WebSocket protocols to handle voice data, making it suitable for applications requiring low-latency audio delivery in browser environments.

    Hey HN, we've been working with OpenAI for the past few months on the new Realtime API. The goal is to give everyone access to the same stack that underpins Advanced Voice in the ChatGPT app. Under the hood it works like this: - A user's speech is captured by a LiveKit client SDK in the ChatGPT app - Their speech is streamed using WebRTC to OpenAI’s voice agent - The agent relays the speech prompt over websocket to GPT-4o - GPT-4o runs inference and streams speech packets (over websocket) back to the agent - The agent relays generated speech using WebRTC back to the user’s device The…

    Hi All ,I been working on my idea , A Voice CRM solution for 2 years.When I started brainstorming the idea the only option I have to receive phone calls thru browser was a flash widget or use 3rd party providers like Twilio or Phono . Thanks to WebRTC we now integrated our VoIP services to receive and make calls directly thru browser .Please have a look and give us your feedback .Thanks Voz.io Team .

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on a browser-based tool for exploring and debugging Web Audio API graphs. Web Audio Studio lets you write real Web Audio API code, run it, and see the runtime graph it produces as an interactive visual representation. Instead of mentally tracking connect() calls, you can inspect the actual structure of the graph, follow signal flow, and tweak parameters while the audio is playing. It includes built-in visualizations for common node types — waveforms, filter responses, analyser time and frequency views, compressor transfer curves, waveshaper distortion, spatial…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
