Otic

Otic is an open-source Android application for sending microphone input over a local network. It provides the client side of an audio streaming arrangement rather than a complete listening system. The application is intended for users who need to make a microphone source available to another component on the same network.

Otic does not include a receiver for the streamed audio. Anyone who wants to listen to or otherwise consume the stream must provide a custom receiver that can accept input from the Otic client. This makes the application suitable for people who can build, configure, or otherwise manage the receiving part separately.

Its primary audience includes Android users and developers working with local-network audio setups. The open-source license allows interested readers to examine the project and assess how it may fit into their own software work. Otic should therefore be understood as a streaming client, not as a packaged sender-and-receiver solution.

MirrorNest lists Otic under Internet & Browsers for the Android platform because its main purpose involves network-based audio streaming. MirrorNest stores a direct mirror of the official build instead of distributing a separately repackaged edition. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication, which provides a defined security check for the copy available through the catalog.
