Downloads

A simple command line application to alert you by sounding a beep when you speak too loudly.

Example use cases:

When you're in a meeting and you're not sure if your voice is being heard
When you're playing games and casting slurs on voice chat
When you're listening to music and speaking

This program is basically a fork of the Volume Meter built by Radiodef which was posted here.

Also uses code to emit a beep sound written by Réal Gagnon posted here.

Requirements:

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Download the .jar (Java Archive) file
Method 1:
- Place the config.properties file in the same directory as the .jar file
- Enter your preferred threshold value (should be an integer>0) in the config.properties file
- Run the .jar file from the command line using the following command:
```
java -jar Java-Loud-Voice-Alert.jar
```
Method 2:
- Run the .jar file from the command line using the following command:
```
java -jar Java-Loud-Voice-Alert.jar
```
- Enter your preferred threshold value (should be an integer>0)

Note:

If an invalid threshold value is entered, the default value of 500 will be used
You have to adjust your threshold value based on the sensitivity of your microphone and system values
You can adjust it step-by-step by starting with a lower value and increasing it until you're satisfied with the result
If the input device is changed, you will not be alerted and you will have to restart the application
