OSX PushToTalk mutes and unmutes the microphone via a keypress.
Features:
- Hold a hotkey (default to Right option) to unmute and release to mute
- Configurable hotkey (@jeremyellison)
- Configurable device (@jeremyellison)
- Tested with Mojave & Catalina
The icon indicator will be translucent if the microphone is muted.
Application Installer (dmg) can be downloaded in the Release Section
Catalina does not allow application from unsigned developer. The next section will only work for OSX before catalina.
To run this on Catalina, build the application yourself
$ git clone [email protected]:yulrizka/osx-push-to-talk.git
$ cd osx-push-to-talk
$ xcodebuild -target "PushToTalk" -configuration Release
This requires you to have Xcode installed. Once The building process is finished, you will have the application in build/Release/ folder.
Move the PushToTalk.app to Applications directory.
The main reason the app is not signed is due to the costly yearly subscription of the Apple developer program. I do not obtain it my self since I am not mainly an Apple developer.
To enable an exception for this app, follow https://support.apple.com/kb/PH11436?locale=en_US
If you want to be sure, just compile the project, Archive & export PushToTalk.app
Delete PushToTalk.app in Applications directory
