<li> 0. What is Keyano?
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<p />
Keyano is a Musical Keyboard / Piano mapper for your PC Keyboard.
<p />
It has support for multiple modes so that various sounds can be used per key.
<p />
In Alphabet mode, when letters or numbers are pressed on the keyboard, that letter or number is said out loud as well as being displayed in a colorful graphical popup window. Alphabet_as_in mode is similar, however in this mode, the voice says "A as in Alpha" (for example).
<p />
Other modes are being developed and we currently have audio support for "notes" mode which is an early attempt to turn the PC keyboard into a Piano.
<p />
It has also been suggested, that with further development, keyano could have applications in the blind community. these options are currently be explored aswell.
<p />
Keyano is currently under heavy development. This project is still very young, so stay tuned for updates.

<p />
(I think aplay comes with alsa but you will still need to make sure it works with your window manager, sometimes aRtsd in KDE for example gets in the way)
