Activation Modes

Your mic can be controlled automatically, or with a little help from you.

Voice Activity

AutoPTT will both press and release the Push-to-Talk key for you.

Tap

You start speaking by pressing the Push-to-Talk key but you can release the key immediately after; AutoPTT will keep Push-to-Talk active until you stop speaking.

Manual

You press and release the Push-to-Talk key.

Multiple keys can be used to trigger PTT through Extra Activation Keys.

Open Mic to PTT (Tap)

Similar to Tap, you press PTT to start talking, which unmutes your mic. It will stay unmuted as long as you talk, even if you release the PTT key immediately.

Open Mic to PTT (Manual)

AutoPTT unmutes your mic when you press PTT and mutes it when you release PTT.

Additionally, you can make use of the following

Toggle Mute

Using a hotkey, switch between Voice Activity and Manual, effectively giving you a Toggle Mute.

Push-to-Mute

Press and hold a key to mute the mic. In Voice Activity and Tap modes, the PTT key is simply released, while in the Open Mic to PTT modes, the mic is muted system-wide.

Push-to-Mute (Global)

Press and hold a key to mute the mic system-wide regardless of the current Activation Mode, while also releasing the PTT key.

Hotkeys

You can use hotkeys to change your setup on the fly.

Detailed Settings

Settings missing from most games and apps are available in AutoPTT, and through AutoPTT, usable in all of them.

Activation Threshold

The sound level that needs to be passed before activating the mic.

Elsewhere, this might be referred to as the Sensitivity.

Deactivation Threshold

AKA Hold Threshold.

When the mic is already active, it is kept active as long as the sound level is above either the activation or deactivation thresholds.

This is useful for when you have a tendency to start talking loudly and then trail off..

Release Delay

The mic is kept active for a time even after the sound level drops below the activation and deactivation thresholds.

This time period is reset every time the sound level goes back over either threshold.

Sound Effects

You can assign sound effects to most events, such as when your mic is activated or deactivated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free?

No but it's a reasonable one-time payment that includes all future updates. Pay once; own forever. No rug-pulls.

You can also try it out for free: it has a trial feature where the app needs to be restarted every 5 minutes but apart from that, has full functionality.

So how much does it cost?

9 EUR. You can buy it here.

Can I get a discount?

If you're buying multiple licenses, sure. Get in touch.

What OS is it for?

Windows only, for now.

Can I get banned for using it?

No. Plenty of software listens for (and generates) input events. For example, if you have a gaming mouse and you remap a button to a keyboard key, it's likely done the same way AutoPTT does.
