Keyboard Sound When Typed for Every Keystroke

In the good old DOS days one only had to intercept the keyboard key-press interrupt and insert a beep in there (or just change the settings to activate it)

The same function would be available in Windows 7 but access to it may be limited.

I just checked in ny Windows 7 and the old dos Debug is available.

With Debug you can do this with a few lines of code.

I did not use it for a long time and completely forgot the detail. I will scan my old disks and maybe could help you.

I wonder if anyone has written an app that would turn a full keyboard into an extend-range piano, say by assigning a .wav file to each key. (Then you could also back-translate musical compositions to see what occult verbal messages they contain.)

I just tried it!

Interestingly enough, the US Declaration of Independence when typed out actually plays the theme music to "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure".

An eerie prescience by Jefferson? Or is there some darker, deeper meaning?

for the first part, no, I haven't heard of it, but it is easy to do in vb... even I can do that.

for the second part... do you have to un-type your composition?

on another note.. back in the late 90's, there used to be this fun app called shittalker... and it was a blast.. just type in your text, and it uses computerspeak to talk to you... it was hilarious. (disregard the abuse it gives when unzipping lol)

If you use a Dvorak keyboard, do you get the New World Symphony?
