Similar to that [AHKMorseTool]
I'm looking for a set of sound files (equivalent to each key on the keyboard). I wanna create an AHK TypingTool.

a.wav
b.wav
.
.
colon.wav
QuestionMark.wav



Anyone out there has something in store ?

I'd like a sound on every AHK action too.

I need wav files - and a AHK script that triggers them.

Perhaps an initial click to provide feedback, and then the
the girl who did the voice in "Dark Star" quietly telling me
what I've just pressed.

Hook up a microphone, record with Audacity and speak the keys. Cut them in slices, and save them as wav or mp3.

Did you try the say.exe - you posted it yourself - or is it too slow?

How about?

Here's what I have so far [incomplete script warning!!!]:

I'm using .wav files from:

http://www.infocom.cqu.edu.au/Staff/Mic ... _Generator

It works brilliantly.

I'll add more .wav files as time passes.

key_sounds_alpha = QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM1234567890qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm@_

Loop Parse, key_sounds_alpha
{
HotKey ~%A_LoopField%, make_sound_alpha
}

key_sounds_other = .,"'!?\/$&=<>()[]{}|

Loop Parse, key_sounds_other
{
HotKey ~%A_LoopField%, make_sound_other
}

HotKey ~Tab, make_sound_tab
HotKey ~Up, make_sound_arrow
HotKey ~Down, make_sound_arrow
HotKey ~Left, make_sound_arrow
HotKey ~Right, make_sound_arrow
HotKey ~Space, make_sound_space
HotKey ~Enter, make_sound_enter
HotKey ~Backspace, make_sound_backspace
HotKey ~Delete, make_sound_backspace
HotKey ~^c, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^v, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^x, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^z, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^y, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^s, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^f, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~^r, make_sound_bell
HotKey ~Home, make_sound_pop_high
HotKey ~End, make_sound_pop_high
HotKey ~PgDn, make_sound_multiple_clicks
HotKey ~PgUp, make_sound_multiple_clicks

~LButton::goto make_sound_mouse_button
~RButton::goto make_sound_mouse_button
~MButton::goto make_sound_mouse_button
~XButton1::goto make_sound_mouse_button
~XButton2::goto make_sound_mouse_button

make_sound_mouse_button:
SoundPlay, C:\Documents\Audio\wav\key_sounds\typewriter\mouse.wav, Wait
Return

[...]

One problem is that auto-repeat on the sounds is sometimes not
desirable.

This:

HotKey ~Control, make_sound_arrow
HotKey ~Alt, make_sound_arrow
HotKey ~Shift, make_sound_arrow

...works badly for this reason.

A basic question - but any ideas about how best to make the
sound only fire once per keypress - without affecting the
keyboard operation.

KeyWait, Shift

...seems to work well enough in these particular cases.

One second thoughts, KeyWait sucks:

Press shift-Z and the Z fails to trigger any audio feedback.

Some other solution seems to be needed.

Maybe there should be an easy way within AHK to see if a
key is repeating - i.e. it is a multiple press of a single key
with no key_up event in between.

What about creating midi events output instead of using directly .wav files and anyone can decide what type of sounds they want to trigger with each key press.

Did you want to have more speech sounds or beeps or synthesized melodies, bass, drums, effects... ?

What would be the application of this sound generating keys or where can this be useful for whom?
