Keyphonic is a lightweight and accessible application designed to help users track key presses and Caps Lock status in real-time. Whether you're testing a keyboard with missing or malfunctioning keys, navigating a keyboard with limited visibility, or simply needing an easy way to monitor Caps Lock, KeyViz offers a straightforward solution. This tool is especially useful for individuals with visual impairments, those with hardware issues, or anyone needing to verify keyboard functionality.
Keyphonic provides a real-time display of every keystroke, ensuring users can see exactly what is being pressed. This makes it a valuable resource for both casual users and those performing more specialized keyboard testing. Its simple and intuitive interface allows for quick setup, eliminating complexity while maintaining accessibility.
PLEASE understand this is still currently under early development and can have bugs!
