What software is this (magnify commands like growl)

[michaelsanford]

I noticed this in a YouTube video, as a guy is giving a fake photoshop tutorial. As he types in key commands, they appear at the top-right in a smoke coloured window.

I'd like to use it for exactly the same thing: video tutorial, but real ones.

Warning, this video is not for all ages, and contains swearing, and themes that you may find distasteful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXeZ0s8DXZ0

Thanks!

I did find something called "Proxi" from Griffin Technology which allows you to accomplish something similar.

You can set up a "Hotkey" trigger to either do a Growl notification or a "Screen Message" (which is similar to a Growl notification). If you configure your Growl windows to look like those in the video, this accomplishes virtually the same thing. You can press a hotkey and have it display any message you type. The only thing I notice is that it doesn't do a "message as you type" but it may get you close to where you want to be.

Proxi also includes a "Speech Recognition" module, so that it can trigger a message based upon some spoken command.

You could also use a shell script to create and display Growl notifications:
