Today, I'm resurrecting our blog that seems to have died.
I am planning release a new software solution for Eclectic Software supporters that will allow them to change their mic volume "on-the-fly", "in-game", "in-use", however you would like to call it.
Currently in the beta version, it will allow you to assign shortcuts keys for each function (e.g. "Ctrl
+F10" to mute or "F12" to increase the mic volume). In later versions, I will be using Direct Sound to "Boost" the volume of the mic. The "boost" feature is already included with a lot of sound cards, but there are cases where its not availible and this program will greatly help those few.
The uses that I can see in the future program are: VoIP calls, Gaming (esp. online games), Speech-to-Text applications (this program will give you an easy way to mute your mic).
If this looks like something you would use, or you can think of another use for it, please email me with "Mic On-The-Fly" or "Mic OTF" in the subject line. I would greatly appriciate any feedback.
