KeyPress OSD

Screencasts or video presentations

KeyPress OSD (KPO) is an application designed for screencasting and tutorials that displays keyboard keys and mouse clicks on-screen. With KPO you can easily show your viewers what keys and mouse clicks you are using, making it perfect for tutorials and demonstrations. Unlike other similar applications, it offers unique features no other application has. KeyPress OSD does not require any installation, making it easy to use on any computer. Simply download the application, run it, and start screencasting.

The newest version is FULLY compatible with OBS, Xsplit, Skype, Zoom or other similar applications.

Additionally, KPO has support for multi-monitor setups, allowing
you to display the keys and clicks on any monitor. Whether you’re
creating a tutorial for software, games, or anything in between, KeyPress OSD is the perfect tool to help you communicate your actions
to your viewers.

KeyPress OSD includes quick start presets. These make it easy to
get started with the application right away. The presets offered are
pre-configured settings and allow you to quickly choose between the main use cases: for screencasts, video tutorials, or as a typing aid tool.

What makes unique KeyPress OSD is that it can be used as a typing aid for people with disabilities, with features specifically design with this in mind: typing mode, text auto-replace, mouse keys and audio cues. If you have trouble seeing what is on the screen as you type, you can use KeyPress OSD to easily see what you are typing without any trouble. We also give the option to use audio cues to help users validate each keystroke press.

If you have mobility issues, you can use text-auto replace: type a shorthand and have it automatically expand to a longer text. Or, you can use the Mouse Keys feature integrated into KeyPress OSD. These are much easier to use than the Microsoft Windows integrated mouse keys.

Mouse halo and mouse spotlight

If you ever wanted to highlight the mouse cursor with a halo or a spotlight, KeyPress OSD can do it for you.

Audio cues on button presses

For an extra touch of interactivity, KeyPress OSD can even
generate audio cues on key presses. This means that your viewers will not
only see which keys you’re pressing, but they’ll also hear the sound of
the keys being pressed. This feature is especially useful for tutorials
that involve typing, programming, or any other activity where audio
feedback can enhance the viewer’s experience. The sounds were carefully crafted to make it enjoyable. The sounds generated can be distinguished by key groups.
