Otic
Otic lets you stream your Android device's microphone input to the local network using `ServerSocket` and Foreground Service. Otic isn't a receiver, so you must have a custom receiver to receive the audio from the Otic client. Check the README (https://github.com/sakethpathike/Otic/blob/master/README.md) for more details.
