Welcome to Scream! Current version is Scream-0.1 beta. Scream is tested on Windows XP/2000. Not yet tested on 95/98/ME. Please read the enclosed README file for Very Important Instructions and other info. Especially This Part: *** IMPORTANT *** The "Scream Threshold" is initially set to a high level, to prevent annoying false positives resulting from ambient sounds at startup. You will likely need to set the threshold lower to get Scream to respond. After launching Scream, *Right Click* on the Scream icon in your system tray, select Scream Tolerance and try gradually lower settings (changes don't take effect until you hit "OK".) ****************** Once you have the tolerance set to a comfortable level, assuming your microphone is set up OK, then you can just sit back and scream.
