Overview

This program is an On-Screen Display or a Heads-Up Display for keys. It displays every key or mouse button press at a clearly visible text size. It is meant to aid desktop computer usage. It is especially useful while chatting or for occasional typing. You can see the text easier without needing to adjust system fonts, scaling or use zooming software. KeyPress OSD also does text expansion / auto complete so "brb" will expand into "be right back" or "ty" into "thank you". The text expansion is the fastest to use in the industry and very powerful. This application can also be used for screen casts or presentations, by disabling the KeyPress OSD typing mode at Preferences. Quick Start Presets are available to help you get started easily. Numerous unique features, options and settings are available in the different settings windows provided in the program, such that everyone can find a way to adapt it to personal needs and adjust it to fit your style. The typing mode has full-support for Cyrillic, Greek and Latin [extended] alphabets and almost any language based on abugida scripts: Bengali, Devanagari, Telugu, Tamil, and so on... It also sports partial support for Right-to-Left [RTL] keyboard layouts, such as Arabic. For these, caret navigation is disabled.
