NAME

       text2tt - Convert text to Touch Tone representation

SYNOPSIS

       text2tt text ...

DESCRIPTION

       text2tt   converts text to the Touch Tone sequence used by APRStt.  There are two types of
       encoding:

              Multi-Press - Used for comments.

                     Letters are represented by one or more presses of the same key depending  on
                     their  order  listed on the button.  e.g.  Press 5 key once for J, twice for
                     K, thrice for L.

                     To specify a digit use the number of letters listed on the button plus  one.
                     e.g.   Press  5 key four times to get digit 5.  When two characters in a row
                     use the same key, use the "A" key as a separator.

              Two-Key - Used for callsigns.

                     Digits are represented by a single key press.

                     Letters (or space) are represented by the corresponding key followed  by  A,
                     B, C, or D depending on the order of the letter in the order listed.

       This application will convert using both methods.
