Have a look here:

> Hello, I just finished the first usable beta version of my very first node. The node is a wrapper around the record functionality of the [sox commandline tool](http://sox.sourceforge.net/) on linux and you can find it here: I’m happy for any testers who could give it a spin and tell me about any errors they find or usage feedback. This node will record audio from the specified audio source on the machine node-red runs on. It has several features which distinguish it from the microphone/record nodes already present. …

This node i made has some features which are made to work especially well with tools like voice2json and our upcoming wrappers for it. But it should in general be a good tool for anybody who wants to record speech commands on linux and use them in nodered.  
I’m happy for any feedback as this is still very much a beta version and work in progress.
