ASCII Viewer allows you to view all possible main characters of your installed fonts? You want to be able to convert pressed keys into their ASCII code and vice-versa? You want to view the full ASCII table?
ASCII Viewer allows you to display the full ASCII table and the ASCII code of pressed keys.
ASCII Viewer allows you to display the full ASCII table and the ASCII code of pressed keys.
- It displays the full ASCII table.
- You can press any key on your keyboard to see its corresponding ASCII code in decimal, octal and hexadecimal value.
- You can enter a decimal ASCII code to see its corresponding character on the keyboard.
- The ASCII table
What's New
Version 6.1:
- A full recompilation has been made as Universal Binary to keep being compatible with both old (PowerPC) Macs and recent (Intel) Macs.
- The "How to intall it?" paragraph of the documentation has been updated to explain how to install and launch the application in particular under Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion:
- Under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, if you're launching the application for the first time, maybe Mac OS X's GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developper).
- NB: We're not distributing our applications through the Mac App Store, because Apple's fees policy on the Mac App Store is not financially respectful of developers and small and medium companies.

Their apps have been poorly written ripoffs since day one and DO NOT deserve your support.
Russian organized crime has nothing on these guys!

Charging this much for slapping a badly written front end on somebody else's work is a disgrace.
AlphaOmega software are a disgrace.

And if I ever need to look up the ASCII code for a character that isn't immediately accessible with a key press, I'll stick with Mac OS X's built in Character Viewer (a.k.a. Character Palette in 10.5 and below). Since ASCII codes and Unicode codes are the same across the entire range of ASCII characters, I can already look up these codes with just the included system tools.
In short, DON'T PAY FOR THIS, people!

The author has every right to ask for compensation for his or her time spent developing the program whether you think it's worth it or not.
Stop whining and posting comments that don't help the rest of us determine if the software does a good job at what it was built for.
On that note, the software does an okay job. It basically displays a short or extended character chart for a given font in list format. This can make it hard to find what you need at first, but it can get easier over time. The find feature works pretty good if you know the keyboard shortcut for what you're looking for. It's got a display bug where the values get "chopped" if the font size is too small.

However the actions of this developer does not surprise me as they have had a long history of predatory conduct. I avoid them whenever possible due to their perceived business model - or to quote W.C. Fields: "Never give a sucker an even break."

But common sense works bidirectionally:
- As a potential user, the common sense reads as "I don't want to pay, I don't use it"
- But, as a software developer, the common sense reads (should read) as "This feature comes from free with the OS, GUI access included, does it make really sense asking people for paying 20 bucks when they have it for free?", especially if the technical contents of this app is such that any computer programming scholar could write it in a couple of hours?
So, the same common sense should have suggested those people not to ask for money for that stuff.
