A number of us have found that one problem with hearme is that the talk/live button does not stay down. This is fine for talking but all sorts of methods including toes on the keyboard have been used to play instruments. I have written a small program that enables the talk button to be locked to make life a little easier although it does not stop the time out problem (maybe one day, I'll sort that).

If anybody wants to try it, I have made it available at my Web site: (Click to download the file) The files contained in the zip file must be extracted or copied to a folder named c:\hearme\stuff for the program to work.

The operation is simple. When this program is running, if the lock button is up, hearme works as normal. If the lock button is down, if the talk button is clicked with the mouse, it will stay down and not release until either the F9 key is pressed or time out occurs.

I make this available under the following conditions:

1: If anybody chooses to use it, they do so entirely at their own risk.

2: I offer no support.
