- download type-sound files, which is all in this folder: https://github.com/mrdog233o5/type-sound/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
- unzip the zip file and put the folder in where you want to install type-sound
- open terminal (a macos application), all the steps after will be done in this app using command line
- go to the directory of typing-sound folder using
cd <path of the folder>
- setup all the files of type-sound, you can use the script i made to automatically setup:
bash setup.sh
- now all of the basic files are installed, to be able to use type-sound, you MUST read #config page to be able to use type-sound (this step doesnt have to be done with terminal)
type-sound does not contain any sounds in it, so to use type-sound, you must give type-sound a sound to play. The default setting can also be not suitable for you, so you can customize type-sound by configuring it.
- find any sound you want, ANY, even meme sounds.
- convert the sound you got to .WAV format using any tools, i suggest https://cloudconvert.com/ because it is free, but you can use any tools you want, as long as the output sound is in .WAV format.
- rename the sound files EXACTLY like this structure: <pack_name> #any name you like for the pack ├── press.wav #sound played when pressed a key ├── release.wav #sound played when released a key ├── mousePress.wav #sound played when pressed mouse └── mouseRelease.wav #sound played when released mouse
- put the whole folder directly into
~/.config/type-sound/sounds
aka/Users/<your user name>/.config/type-sound/sound/sounds
this is a hidden folder as it starts with a dot, so you have to presscommand+shift+period(.)
to enable displaying hidden folders. - the sound pack is added correctly if you followed the steps above correctly. To tell type-sound to use that sound pack, open
~/.config/type-sound/type-sound.json
aka/Users/<your user name>/.config/type-sound/type-sound.json
with a text editor. - when you open it, it should look like something like this:
{
"pack":<soundpack that you are using>,
}
remember to save and reopen type-sound when you made any changes
open <the location of the type-sound folder>/dist/type-sound.app
if u did all the steps above correctly, you should be able to hear sound when ur typing after a few seconds
