It doesn't "mute your keyboard" it "mutes everything" which isn't very useful in a meeting.
How often are you typing and speaking at the same time though? I’m not talented enough to do that, personally. :) I think this app is really clever. I would definitely use it if my version of macOS wasn’t nearly a decade too old.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you use GSuite Enterprise, you can use Meet's built-in noise cancellation which runs on TPUs in a DC. It's basically magic. You can have someone vacuuming the room right next to you or cook dinner and your coworkers won't notice. Typing noise is just gone. It has improved our meetings so much. https://krisp.ai works locally and is cheaper, but it noticeably degrades quality (tested with the Chrome extension only).
Can you describe this? Tried googling but couldn’t find due to TPUs being so ubiquitous.
It's like a CPU/GPU, but specifically for doing the kind of math you come across with Machine Learning / Neural Network applications (mostly: lots and lots of dot products).
I wish push-to-talk was more common. On linux I've been using this little python script that implements global push-to-talk by (un)muting the microphone in pulseaudio when you push a button. https://gitlab.com/somini/inpulse-to-talk Time to see if there's something equivalent for mac.
On Zoom, you can push to talk by pressing the space bar. Yes, this advice is Zoom-centric but the app calls out Zoom in the first sentence on the page, so I think it's fair.
The sentence explaining what it does has a typo which makes it confusing: > Unclack is the small but mighty Mac utility that mutes your keyboard while you type. This should say "mutes your _microphone_ while you type". You can't mute a keyboard
You can't mute a microphone. Mute is when something can't make a sound. You put a mic on mute. So no, the text is correct. But obviously it's wrong. It doesn't ONLY mute the keyboard, it mutes everything for the person typing. The keyboard, the person, the squeaking chair.
edit: in fact I would go so far as to say that the majority of English speakers, at least here in America, would prefer saying "mute the mic" instead "put the mic on mute" (I've never heard anyone say the latter in actual conversation, to be honest).
Still, a slick utility. Good luck !!

As a native english speaker, I was confused about how it was possible to mute a keyboard. I did not immediately make the leap to "it mutes your mic when it detects typing on the keyboard"
I thought this was going to be an app that emits some kind of inverse sound through the laptop speakers to neutralize the keypress sound in real life. I wonder if that's possible.
