 Above examples are bad from usability perspective and semantically
wrong too. In all OSes 'Browse' button corresponds to file picker
dialog. Launching Camera or Audio recorder on clicking 'Browse' will
confuse the user.
 To allow launching different interfaces from file input type, we
should allow changing the value of the 'Browse' text. This way
developer can call the camera capture or audio recorder file input
button to 'Record' or anything which corresponds to the interface
being triggered.
