The world is made up of two kinds of people: those sadistic monsters who leave the key-board clicks turned on on their iPhones, and the sane angels who keep that shit off.
If you put yourself in category #1, boy, do I have a product for you! Noisy Typer is a free, open-source software for OS X, developed by Theo Watson, of the Free Art and Technology lab (F.AT.).
Built on openFrameworks version 0071, Noisy Typer runs in the background and will replicate the click clack sound of an oldtimey typewriter, while you compose your emails and pen your memoirs on your word processing program of choice.
Noisy Typer has a distinct sound for letter keys, the spacebar, backspace, return, scroll up, and scroll down—so if you’re jonesing for a little Mad Men action, you can just power up Pages (or Word, or whatever), hit the keys, close your eyes—pour some Scotch?—and make believe you’re sitting right in there in the center of Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price.
…Otherwise, I’m not sure why you’d want to submit yourself to this kind of *cruel cacophony? [TheVerge via fffff]
*If you do, though, please be kind and keep your headphones plugged in at all times. Because you are probably the only terrible human on Earth who actually wants to hear this.
Who needs a noisy typing app? My IBM Model M makes a lovely clickety clack just by being itself
It’s like having a mechanical keyboard, with none of the benefits.
Tsk, tech nerds. I’m a hipster so all my word processing is done on an actual typewriter that I lug to the library.
Typing is too mainstream for me. I use a chisel and stone tablet for all my word processing needs..
I used to grunt instead of talk. But it turns out every teenager does that.
I’m thinking of wearing a loincloth and hunting things.
Pretty much teenagers these days as well.
i just get siri to talk to voice control
Well, it’s less noisy and much less annoying than the new dictation feature on Mountain Lion, which Gizmodo is praising as ‘the future of computers’.
Gizmodo thinks that anything “Invented” by apple is the future of computers.
Holy crap. If you want to experience the “future of computers” open about 5 duplicate tabs of that article and play the video on each one.
The typewriters of the past were noisy. the speech recognition programs of the future will be even noisier. We will look back on this short period in our history when text input was relatively quiet.
So according to this article, everyone has an iPhone. Did I miss the news article saying that HTC, Sony, Nokia, Samsung, etc had all gone bust?
I want this for Windows. This in addition to my mechanical keyboard will drive my colleagues insane
After seeing the video all I kept thinking was that if they are going to make something loud and annoying, at least make it complete. There was no sound when he pressed the backspace.
Yes my OCD is kicking in. Get it right app!
So according to this article, everyone has an iPhone. Who knew :s
