I've been trying to create this for about a week now, and boy, has it given me hell. I'm pretty much at a loss for if it's even possible, but I've seen someone else have this exact thing before so I feel like it must be. To reiterate, what I'm trying to make is a textbox on screen that updates in realtime whenever you're typing into it that also makes sound while you're typing.
Within the past week, I haven't even managed to figure out no-delay text. While yes, I could just not use the text file option for this and write through the OBS window itself for a realtime update; I concluded that I wouldn't be able to have the sound looping while I'm typing without a textfile involved because OBS wouldn't know how to check that I'm updating anything. I could be wrong about that, and it would probably change everything if I am, but I haven't found anything to prove otherwise yet.
So I went down the rabbithole of trying to make a textfile save constantly so it updates on the OBS screen instantly, and eventually installed VSCode and used the autosave feature set at 1ms. This came with the newfound problem that even when the textfile is saved and updated instantly, it still takes a second or two to relay that to OBS. So it seems like the textfile route is impossible to truly have realtime updating. So now I feel like I'm back at square 1 with it.
I figured once I found out the text situation, the sound effect should be easy enough because I'll just have OBS loop a media source until I stop typing. Yet now I don't even know if the text part is possible with just OBS, or if the person I saw used or created something else to achieve it. I'd be willing to pay someone to make something for it if that's the case, I just don't even know where to ask for that sort of thing. If someone knows how to make this happen within OBS or build it themselves, I'm all ears. Thanks.
