Learn Keys

"Learn Keys" offers an intuitive keyboard exploration and announcement experience with its latest version 1.1.1. Developed by American Printing House for the Blind, Inc. (APH), this educational tool falls under the Teaching Tools category, making it perfect for learning and assistance. Available for free download, Learn Keys works on Windows 7, 10, and 11 and comes with a manageable file size of 26.2 MB.

Learn Keys features digitized human speech to provide feedback on keystrokes. The program excels in two operational modes: full-screen and background mode. In full-screen mode, it vocalizes and displays the pressed key without triggering any system functions like the Windows key. Background mode guarantees seamless integration with other running programs while still delivering keyboard feedback, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted.

Among the customizable settings are voice gender, pronunciation speed, type, and font size, making the program highly adaptable to user preferences. Helpful online resources and an About box further facilitate ease of use.

For those looking for earlier or alternative versions, Learn Keys 1.1 is also available, catering to varied user needs. The program can be obtained under a Shareware license, which offers an extensive trial period.
