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.

OPTIONS
