Theres no way this thing is guessing keyclicks by sound on any keyboard. Maybe a specific one. Especially with custom keyboards taking off. My canonkeys 60% sounds nothing like my completely custom elvish keyboard. An AI in this day and age is not ready for that.

Given that it’s AI-trained it may be hard to say, but my guess is that it’s based on timing more than the unique sound of each separate key. Like certain sequences of keys probably have a predictable time between each stroke, based on how long it takes the relevant finger to travel to the next key after the previous one.
That one I could believe more. Since keyboards have such a wide array of sounds its ptobably not using the envelope to determine the key.
So switching to dvorak or colemak would possibly help significantly
It was explicitly trained on the keyboard used in MacBooks, which is fairly specific, but covers a pretty large user base.
In theory they could train it on other specific keyboards, but it remains to be seen what other factors could affect it
Which, has a very specific sound with the scissor switches and aluminum casings. Its not exactly your average logitech keyboard in an office.
I wonder if this still holds up for those of us who don’t use a QWERTY layout
or the kind of people that “hunt and peck”
Grandma, is that you?
I wonder as on my COLEMAK keeb, the computer thinks it’s a QWERTY, it’s the software that sends info to the computer that rearranged the keys, so my computer knows that I’m using a QWERTY, and if the AI checked what keyboard I use in the system that’s what it would see
Just record yourself typing “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, and play it on loop in the background.
But that’s my password!
Weird, all I see are asterisks.
Silent keyswitch companies be like:
quiet keyboards ftw!
I need a suppressor for my mechanical keyboard
Time to make a keeb with clicky and linear, and every single key is a different one
This has existed for a while and can be used by anyone: https://github.com/ggerganov/kbd-audio
iPad onwards, I guess…
Probably depends a lot on the keyboard whether the sound is even audible enough. Membrane keyboards are probably a lot harder to hear than mechanical.
I guess I’ll be muting my mic unless I’m talking from now on.
were you also farting into the mic before? Why wouldn’t you do that to begin with
I mean I usually was muting anyway out of courtesy. Now I will do it always for privacy.
