In their own words
EXP Soundboard
EXP Soundboard is a free, open-source soundboard for playing custom clips through speakers or virtual audio devices. Users can load MP3 and WAV files, assign hotkeys for playback, adjust each sound’s volume, and configure the output. It also includes text to speech for playing custom messages. Gamers, streamers, and content creators are among its intended users. Audio can optionally be routed to Discord or OBS through Virtual Audio Cable or similar tools. The software is designed for Windows, with Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 listed as compatible. It is also listed for Linux, macOS, and web: Mac and Linux use is through a virtual machine or Wine, while browser use runs through OnWorks in a virtual Windows environment. After installation, it works offline, except when used through OnWorks. Minimum requirements include Windows 7, a 1 GHz Intel or AMD CPU, 1 GB RAM, 50 MB free disk space, and Java Runtime Environment 8 or later. The site says the installer may be flagged by antivirus software and advises downloading from trusted sources.
