Typewriter sound program

With every touch of the keyboard, there is a new sound. This makes the process of typing more interesting and intertaining, reduces stress, and helps encourage more rhythmical typing. By default, Sound Pilot uses the typewriter sound set.

However, you may switch to another sound scheme for instance ICQ or Morse. If your mood changes, with two clicks you can switch your sound scheme, changing the sound aura around you. Sound Pilot 2. November 11 :: Version 2. Choose paper and text colors, fonts, sounds, and line spacing.

You can make Writer your own by customizing it so that it looks and feels exactly the way you want. Writing goals can be set per document or per session. And you can set a word or character count goal or a timer. Writing goals keep you focused, on track, and make sure you can hit your daily word count. Writer also keeps track of your writing history and can chart how many words you've written over time, when you're most productive, and keep track of streaks.

How can I save as plain text or in Word format for later editing? Are you watching what I type? The code runs entirely on your machine; no data is sent back to the server. Add info about how to use the correction paper. Accordionise the info page, and a new introduction written in OverType itself. This is just a first draft of it; it needs tweaking to be more realistic.

Upgrade Ion. Sound to 3. This avoids them reacting to certain keypresses eg cursor keys. Apologies if this causes accessibility problems for anyone. Rearrange instructions page and add FAQ. Improved appearance of header. Fix an issue with redshift. Textured page background on screen. Previously it was possible to prematurely type characters at the beginning of the next line before the CR had completed.

The Ion. Sound upgrade fixes the problems with sound synchronisation on Safari, so removed all the warnings about not using it. Animate a little wobble at the stop part of a CR.

It just seemed like the sound demanded it. The motion sound length depends on the line length, while the stop sound is the same for all. Fix colourshift lock always acting as caps lock too. Fix shift lock. We have no way of determining in advance which symbols are produced by which shifted key on your particular keyboard layout; so, shift-lock starts off using my keyboard layout UK Mac , but whenever you use shift unlocked , it will learn the real symbol on the shift position of that key, and will thenceforth use that in shift-lock too.

The fix for this is slightly shonky but can't be helped due to the insane differences between browsers on which events capslock fires.

This means I no longer have to manually map keycodes to characters, which in turn means that you should now get the correct symbol characters according to your own keyboard layout. Movement keys space, backspace, tab, and cursor keys now all move on keydown, not keyup. Provide a button to get the instructions page back.

Fix the Safari warning being shown to Chrome users hopefully. Browser detection sucks. Somewhat refactored the keydown handler into more digestible chunks. Make sure the page has fully loaded before you press [esc], as otherwise the browser will interpret it as a "stop loading" command. When colour shift partially "fails", instead of printing the whole character in red and then overprinting part of it in black, which sometimes meant the red was somewhat visible beneath the black part, each part of the character is now clipped so they do not overlap.

Improved the algorithm for deciding how often, and by how much, colour shift "fails". Shift, colour shift, or both, can now be locked on by holding them down and pressing caps lock. Press caps lock again to release the lock. Note that unlike a computer's caps lock, a typewriter's shift lock behaves exactly as if shift were held down, so for example number keys produce symbols. Rather than having a fixed offset for each character, and simply adding more random offset when Brokenness is increased, we now choose an offset and threshold for each character.

If Brokenness is above the threshold for that char, it will be offset by its consistent amount. This offset may then be randomly boosted or not by 1 or 2px at high Brokenness levels. Show the values of the sliders as numbers below them. Reduce max inkiness. Hold [alt] to type red characters.

Sometimes these will randomly be only partially red, to simulate failing to press the colour shift key hard enough. The frequency and amount of this failure is affected by the Brokenness control. A high brokenness setting results in more wobbly and unevenly-inked text. A broken key never recovers until the brokenness is reduced back below this threshold, which unbreaks all of them. The inkiness slider also monitors your current ink level - ie it reduces as you type.

Start from the centre of the top line of the page, instead of the top-left. Left and right are the same as backspace and space.
