I don't know anything about jazz or how to create any kind of music, but it's so relaxing to type while listening to these notes. I would love this as an application integrated with the OS, so I can listen it with every keystroke.

#55It appears nobody noticed the "share" feature, which records your typing sequence and replays it. I think it's amazing to use this feature to write letters. Try reading this poem to see what I mean.

#58Interesting concept. Audio's crackly at times on my Linux Firefox. Though I keep waiting for something like this to show up that's more grounded in music theory…
Aww, I can't type outside ASCII range? Drat, I wanted to see whether different languages (even in Latin script) were distinguishable by sound this way.

p.s. It also records your typos and deletions.
p.p.s. While I was typing this poem, my wife thought that I was listening to a new jazz song and asked me what song it was.

#60This is really well done. I find the default "free form" mode is by far the most interesting, and it's more complex than a lot of the comments are implying here. It cycles between different patterns, and the pattern is changed by inserting a space or punctuation. You can easily verify this by typing an extremely long word without spaces: the pattern becomes apparent, even though it's always transposed up or down by 5…
Agreed. Great concept and execution.
The "share" feature shows that it also implemented a format to serialize the typing sequence and stores it on server.
If I still write letters to friends, I'd definitely start using this from now on.
