Java-Loud-Voice-Alert

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)

Usage:

• 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
