This version is the first public release and has a very simple user interface.
Version 1.0 Beta - August 2004 (Current version) The version changes do seem to take a long time but at the time I wrote it I was also a full-time father to 3 very young children! It was a spare time only project. What follows is an almost direct copy from my old README.TXT file so it does not follow current conventions. Just download KeySounds.EXE from there as that is all you need to run it! Version Changes I have included the compiled executable in the Git project files in the Release folder inside src. DownloadĬurrently there is no download package for Key Sounds.
Double clicking that icon will bring up the about box for the program and right clicking will bring up a prompt asking if you want to close the program.
To use Key Sounds simply run the application! Your keyboard will now start producing that old classic typewriter sound whenever keys are pressed! Key Sounds runs in the background with an icon showing in the taskbar notification area. Maybe if there is interest I might be motivated to continue with the project. Alas life changes put Key Sounds on semi-permanent hold for many years! Today (the day this GitHub project was created) I decided I would release the code here. I planned to increase its functionality to allow for more sounds to be used. I named it Key Sounds to make it future proof. I liked that effect so in January of 2004 I decided to see if I could make it work for any program. The desktop program for ICQ back then included a novel feature to have a typewriter sound while you type messages. Many years ago, I used to use an instant messaging system called ICQ. It does compile in Visual Studio Community 2017 but I have not included any updated solution and project files as some people might want to compile it in an older version of Visual Studio. This project was created in an old version of Visual Studio on Windows XP. They get audible feedback to let them know they have pushed the keys correctly. Key Sounds is a simple background program for Windows that provides a typewriter sound whenever a key is pressed.Īs well as being a novelty gimmick Key Sounds does actually have a functional use as an accessibility tool for people who have limited fine motor control or very weak muscles.
