Off-topic: WebRTC client for the command line - no video

Off-topic: WebRTC client for the command line - no video

[Fernando Botelho]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a command line or Emacs-based client that can handle 
the WebRTC protocol. Only audio and text would be absolutely necessary, 
video would not.

Does anybody know of a package handling this or an existing project or 
developer that might have an interest in pursuing this?

Our objective is to have a client that would be used by blind persons 
through Emacs and Emacspeak, on very low cost and low power devices, 
i.e. single board computers.

Thanks for any guidance,

Fernando

Actually start here:
https://webrtc.org/native-code/development/prerequisite-sw/
https://webrtc.org/faq/

Also -- to generate developer interest it would be worth including
video --  and sending video is useful even if you yourself cannot see.

Thank you very much Raman.


I will keep the Emacspeak list informed of any progress.

I am guessing it is not possible, but it is worth asking:

Could a command line script use headless Chromium to interact with audio 
and text streams of a WebRTC extension?

Not worth the trouble -- if one is willing to go that far, then one
 might as well use the ChromeVox extension in  Chrome and not get
 Emacs tangled in the mix.
