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 automatically scrolls when you press a key or enter an ASCII code.
You can change the font and the size of the full ASCII table.
It doesn't need any installation which makes it very easy to use.

What's new in ASCII Viewer

Version 8.1:

A full recompilation has been made to be compatible with High Sierra, and 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 10.13 High Sierra:
Under Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra, if you're launching the Application for the first time, Mac OS' 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).

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

After laying low for a while, these thieves are back trying to take advantage of unsuspecting Mac users. :( Their apps have been poorly written ripoffs since day one and DO NOT deserve your support. Russian organized crime has nothing on these guys!

I'll stick with the nice, free Full Key Codes for looking up the ASCII codes (as well as the keyboard codes) of anything on my keyboard just by pressing the key. 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!

I recognize the reasons behind the negative views, but as a novice programmer, I do find value in this program. Yes, I can find some freeware alternatives, and yes, I can find these codes for free on the web. But this program does provide a fast and useful interface that I haven't found in any of the freeware alternatives. Again, I can understand why experienced programmers would see it that way. But from a novice's point of view, I don't find this to be a ripoff piece of shareware.

The approved solution is to write your own ASCII table program and charge $4.95 for it. Once you have a payment processor set up, the software development is trivial. When it's free to advertise like this, shysters like AlphaOmega will be drawn like flies to pudding.

Geeze people - it's simple common sense really: if you don't want to pay for the software, don't use it. 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.

Shareware? One has just to type "ascii" in the software search window to find something like ten similar programs with the same functions, except that they are free. Why should you be paid for? What does your program offers over the others?

The old Apple's keyboard application has not disappeared with Panther, it has been simply moved somewhere else (just go to the System preferences, where you choose the keyboard and enable it). I don't understand the utility of (and why to pay for) something that comes already bundled with the OS.
