The Flutter Voice Processor is an asynchronous audio capture library designed for real-time audio
processing on mobile devices. Given some specifications, the library delivers frames of raw audio
data (16-bit, mono PCM) to the user via listeners.

## Requirements

- [Flutter SDK](https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install)
- [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/setup-sdk) (21+)
- [JDK](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/) (8+)
- [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) (11+)
- [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/)

## Compatibility

- Flutter 1.20.0+
- Android 5.0+ (API 21+)
- iOS 13.0+

## Installation

Flutter Voice Processor is available via [pub.dev](https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_voice_processor).
To import it into your Flutter project, add the following line to your `pubspec.yaml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
flutter_voice_processor: ^
```

## Permissions

To enable recording with the hardware's microphone, you must first ensure that you have enabled the proper permission on both iOS and Android.

On iOS, open the `Info.plist` file and add the following line:
```xml
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
[Permission explanation]
```

On Android, open the `AndroidManifest.xml` and add the following line:
```xml

```

See our [example app](./example) for how to properly request this permission from your users.

## Usage

Access the singleton instance of `VoiceProcessor`:

```dart
import 'package:flutter_voice_processor/flutter_voice_processor.dart';

VoiceProcessor? _voiceProcessor = VoiceProcessor.instance;
```

Add listeners for audio frames and errors:

```dart
VoiceProcessorFrameListener frameListener = (List frame) {
// use audio
}

VoiceProcessorErrorListener errorListener = (VoiceProcessorException error) {
// handle error
}

_voiceProcessor?.addFrameListener(frameListener);
_voiceProcessor?.addErrorListener(errorListener);
```

Ask for audio record permission and start recording with the desired frame length and audio sample rate:

```dart
final int frameLength = 512;
final int sampleRate = 16000;
if (await _voiceProcessor?.hasRecordAudioPermission() ?? false) {
try {
await _voiceProcessor?.start(frameLength, sampleRate);
} on PlatformException catch (ex) {
// handle start error
}
} else {
// user did not grant permission
}
```

Stop audio capture:
```dart
try {
await _voiceProcessor?.stop();
} on PlatformException catch (ex) {
// handle stop error
}
```

Once audio capture has started successfully, any frame listeners assigned to the `VoiceProcessor` will start receiving audio frames with the given `frameLength` and `sampleRate`.

### Capturing with Multiple Listeners

Any number of listeners can be added to and removed from the `VoiceProcessor` instance. However,
the instance can only record audio with a single audio configuration (`frameLength` and `sampleRate`),
which all listeners will receive once a call to `start()` has been made. To add multiple listeners:
```dart
VoiceProcessorFrameListener listener1 = (frame) { }
VoiceProcessorFrameListener listener2 = (frame) { }
List listeners = [listener1, listener2];
_voiceProcessor?.addFrameListeners(listeners);

_voiceProcessor?.removeFrameListeners(listeners);
// or
_voiceProcessor?.clearFrameListeners();
```

## Example

The [Flutter Voice Processor app](./example) demonstrates how to ask for user permissions and capture output from the `VoiceProcessor`.
