Enable Windows 11 Built-in Feature to Display Caps Lock Indicator with Sound and Visual
If you don’t want to install third-party apps, you can enable Windows 11’s built-in feature to display the Caps Lock indicator with sound and visuals. This feature is called “Toggle keys” and will notify you by playing a sound when you press Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock. In addition, you can also activate the “Hear text and descriptions read aloud” feature to get a visual notification when you press the toggle button.
Here are the steps to enable this feature in Windows 11:
- Press Win + I to open Settings.
- In the Settings window, select Accessibility in the left pane, and then select Keyboard in the right pane.
- Under the “Stick, Filter, and Toggle keys” settings, enable “Toggle keys“. It will tell Windows to notify you by playing a sound when you press Caps, Num, or Scroll lock.
- Optionally, you can also enable “Hear text and descriptions read aloud” to get a visual notification when you press the toggle button. To do so, click the link “Hear text and descriptions read aloud” under the “Toggle keys” setting.
- In the new window that opens, enable “Show text suggestions as I type” and “Show text suggestions for hardware keyboard“. This will make Windows display the text you typed on the screen, and also indicate whether Caps Lock is on or not.
After you complete these steps, you’ll hear a sound and see a visual notification every time you press the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock key. A visual notification will appear at the top of the screen and will display text that you type in upper or lower case according to the Caps Lock status.
Conclusion
By using one of the two methods I have described above, you can display the Caps Lock indicator on the Windows 11 screen easily and quickly. That way, you can type more comfortably and accurately, without worrying about making annoying typing mistakes. You can also customize the Caps Lock indicator according to your preferences, whether it’s color, position, duration, or sound.
