Typewriter Sounds

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can make my laptop sound like a typewriter, whenever I am typing??
Is there any free software out there that can do this?
Can anyone advise me on this please?

Regards
Rip

Well, why not?
I don't mind the old typewriter sound.
Just curious, that's all..
Maybe there is someone out there who knows where I can get the typewriter keyboard ?
Thanks anyway.

Re: Typewriter Sounds

I haven't seen any for over 20 years. I do remember some early computers came with such sounds, 8-bit, so users who were 'used to typewriters wouldn't become confused by the lack of sound when they pressed a key'. Yes, a paraphrase of the info included with the software.

Incredimail has that option when typing a new mail, but for anything else I'm afraid I'm lost for any suggestions.

Re: Typewriter Sounds

Well, if you do a Google search, you'll find lots of programmes capable of doing just that but most of the ones I found are so old that not even XP is supported.

Good luck in your search!
