About

SpectrumPrinter converts images or messages to audio signals, which can be viewed using spectrograms (with Audacity or SpectrumView).

Usage:

Compile using make (make) and run:

./spectrum-printer "message"

Some additional options can be used, for instance:

./spectrum-printer "message" lines=40 min=1000 max=2000 time=400

Prints "message" using 40 lines (frequencies) ranging from 1000 to 2000 Hz, where each column takes 400ms.
