[CW] Linux CW Morse text to sound file - wav mp3 etc or MIDI

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello Fabian,

I should have mentioned that I did find ebook2cw already and yes it will do
what I want but it does so much more.

There was - but it is a dead link - of a graphical user interface (this
means a graphical interface or gui) for Linux.  Right now I can only find
the gui for Windows.

Fabian, this is a really amazing program - you can go and get a nice book
from Project Guttenberg or other eBook site and convert it to Morse code and
even change the speed for each chapter.  You can start out at 5 wpm and
increase the speed for each following chapter.  So if you have a book with
fifty five (55) chapters, you can get your code speed up to sixty (60) wpm.

Scott, W5ESE sent me a direct email in which he mentioned the classic linux
program called morse.
.
Unfortunately it works very poorly on some new computers that do not have a
"PC Speaker" as it does not have an audio driver.

I have a group of radio amateurs who are working on the Vinux project which
is Ubuntu and Debian for the visually impaired user - that is poor vision or
blind user.  The main page for this project is http://www.vinuxproject.org
- I use this myself as it has some very handy programs including pretty good
OCR script that will take multiple pages and produce a pdf, doc, or text
file (as far as I can remember).

I've looked and asked around and it looks like ebook2cw is the best around.
For Windows there is a graphical user interface - gui - but not now for
linux as the link is dead.  Of course if anyone has the ebook2cw gui for
linux, I will accept it via email to djringjr at gmail.com which has a 10 MB
attachment limit.
