Convert your text typing into music

NotesTyper system converts text typing into music. You will need computer keyboard, microphone (notebook mic is ok) and
Chrome or Firefox browser. NotesTyper has multiple operating modes and settings, which allow to produce different music
from same text. Computer keyboards do no allow to input keypress velocity, but NotesTyper overcomes this restriction by
processing microphone input level when you type. When generating music all nuances of your typing are taken into account:
what keys were pressed, exact timings of all key presses and key releases, velocity (loudness) of typing.

Who can be interested:
Researchers: experiment with converting text to music and explore fundamental relationships.
Musicians: virtual keyboard with touch sensitivity.
Music composers: compose new music with algorithmic and improvisation approach.
Text authors: listen and share to how your text can sound.
