I've been using this for a long time, and I just realized I should probably write a review. This program is simultaneously the bane of my existence (I almost always leave it running on my laptop, and during class I'll often start typing- not notice that it's running out loud because i'm so used to it, only to realize my frantic note taking is extremely distracting to those around me) and my savior (it makes it so much easier for me to be able to type. The instant feedback of knowing I actually hit a button is such a good accessibility feature that it's kind of messed up that this program isn't built into windows.)
I love this extremely lightweight program and I love that it hides in my taskbar for easy access at any given time.
Hey I got this a while back in the bundle for Ukraine and I gotta thank you. My uni essays would not have been finished without the bell typewriter motivating me to finish a paragraph to hear that satisfying ding! 10/10
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, and I love it. For some reason, my wife loves it too. I think it's because when I'm working on my computer she can still feel that I'm present because of the typing noise, even if I'm zoned in on working on things.
Hi! I'm not sure if you're still responding to the comments, but I was wondering if there's any way to change how the code functions so that instead of going to the next "progression" when the enter key is hit, it instead goes to the next "progression" after any key press? I was trying to write a cheeky little addition to the audiosets to add a song that would play over the course of several keypresses but I couldn't quite figure out if there's an actual way to do that.
Could it be an bigger underlying issue with your storage device or system (please see here)? Or a glitch in the downloading? Did you extract the zip to a folder before running it?
Try (re)downloading, unzipping, and running the portable non-installer version to see if it works. Make sure the .NET framework 4.7.1 is installed (should be already installed, but you can try downloading/installing it again here).
If it is still happening or you need further assistance, then please send me all info that you think could be helpful, including what exactly you have tried, screenshots of the error message, anything peculiar with your system setup, etc.
I must say, I've had this turned on on the "melodic marimba" sound since March of last year and not only do I love it, I've also completely 'forgot' it was part of my daily experience until I thought about it again. The sounds have become natural which is probably a huge plus lol.

You can get very addicted to this very quickly.

Cheaper than a mechanical keyboard, too!

There's no way to do that currently - the progressions are hardcoded to the enter/return key. But I'll keep this in mind for the next release.
I hadn't given much thought about what seemed to be more of a gadget than anything else, but the Bell typewriter set really gave me a smile.
thank you once again for making this. having these extra clicky sounds brightens every day.
using the bell typwriter. pressing enter is so satisfying
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable on Windows 11 with the v1.0.0 sadly :'(
