You merely have to run the downloaded launcher and the application adds an icon to the system tray area from where you are able to access it and its functions.After you start it, the application will play a sound every time you press a key. A keyboard contains multiple key blocks and for this reason, Strike’N’Tick allows you to choose a distinct beep for function, control, sign, alpha, numerical and other keys.
Add custom sounds
Strike’N’Tick allows you to choose the same sound for all the keys but since it’s offered as open-source software, no one is going to stop you from adding your own custom beeps.So for example, if you want to give your little kids a nice surprise by playing their favorite animal sounds whenever keys are pressed, you are free to do so. The application sounds can be muted but unfortunately it’s either all of them or none. You can’t choose to enable or disable the effect only for a specific group or certain keys.
