My understanding is that it is the Java browser plugin that is the issue, not Java itself, and that Oracle has been very slow in addressing this problem.

As a workaround, Firefox has set Java as click-to-play so that a java program embeded on a website does not run without the user's knowledge. From the Firefox site:

to protect Firefox users we have enabled Click To Play for recent versions of Java on all platforms (Java 7u9, 7u10, 6u37, 6u38). Firefox users with older versions of Java are already protected by existing plugin blocking or Click To Play defenses.

Not sure about Chrome.

It is still a good idea to disable the Java plugin from your browser after having uploaded speech to the VoxForge site.

waiting for browser support of HTML media capture.

you can use also Audacity.

you're more that welcome to add something :)

Firefox and Chrome can use the getUserMedia/Stream API.

I could make this pretty fast, but I would need some help getting it up and some infomation on how to send it to the server.

That would be awesome!

The server end for the voxforge applet uses php server code from the postlet applet site: http://postlet.com/scripts/

Here is the source for the voxforge version of the server code:

I am travelling now, and will be home in a week, and can set up a test environment for you when I get back.
