babelcast

Babelcast

A server which allows audio publishers to broadcast to subscribers on a channel, using nothing more than a modern web browser.

It uses websockets for signalling & WebRTC for audio.

The designed use case is for live events where language translation is happening. A translator would act as a publisher and people wanting to hear the translation would be subscribers.

Building

Download precompiled binary for Linux or build it yourself.

Requires Go >= 1.19

Fetch the project go get github.com/porjo/babelcast

Usage

Usage of ./babelcast:
  -port int
    	listen on this port (default 8080)
  -webRoot string
    	web root directory (default "html")

Then point your web browser to http://<server-ip>:8080/

If the PUBLISHER_PASSWORD environment variable is set, then publishers will be required to enter the password before they can connect.

Credit

Thanks to the excellent Pion library for making WebRTC so accessible.
