A collection of command-line and GUI tools that capture and analyze microphone audio to recover keyboard keystrokes acoustically. Its Keytap tools guess pressed keys from typing sounds, using training data or English n-gram statistics.

Use cases

• recover typed text from keyboard audio recordings
• test if my keyboard is vulnerable to acoustic eavesdropping
• analyze keystroke sounds captured from a microphone
• demonstrate acoustic side-channel keyboard attacks
• record and inspect audio from the command line

When to choose

• you want to demonstrate or research acoustic keyboard side-channel attacks
• you need to recover text from a recording of typing sounds without training data
• you want a self-contained C++ toolset for audio capture and keystroke analysis

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready or stealthy surveillance tool
• you expect reliable text recovery on noisy keyboards or environments
• you need a maintained product with ongoing feature development
