Free convert audio to text software for linux

Python Audio Tools are a collection of audio handling programs which work from the command line. These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track identification, CD burning from tracks, and more.
Supports internationalized track filenames and metadata using Unicode. Works with high-definition, multi-channel audio as well as CD-quality. Track conversion uses multiple CPUs or CPU cores if available to greatly speed the transcoding process. Track metadata can be retrieved from FreeDB or FreeDB-compatible servers. Audio formats supported are:
- WAV
- AIFF
- Sun AU
- FLAC
- WavPack
- Monkeys Audio
- MP3
- MP2
- Ogg Vorbis
- Ogg Speex
- M4A
Easy to install and use:
I dont like programs with lots of obscure dependencies, so Ive written Python Audio Tools to require as few external libraries and programs as possible. Most formats require only one or two common executables and some require none at all. Installation utilizes Pythons built-in distutils, but a provided makefile reduces the process to a simple "make install" command.
The programs that make up Python Audio Tools provide a consistent interface for painless switching between them. man pages are included, as is a lengthy manual for both users and programmers. See the short tutorial in the documentation for an illustration of their usage.
These Python Audio Tools are designed with Unix-like systems in mind. Although most of it is written in pure Python, the libcdio library is used to read from a CD-ROM drive. If one is willing to forgo the CD-based tools, Python Audio Tools is fully portable so long as the required helper applications are present. I have used it on the i386, x86_64 and ppc architectures without difficulty.
Standards compliant
Because Python Audio Tools sticks very close to established, documented standards, it has no trouble interoperating with other audio-handling programs. If you want to rip CDs with Exact Audio Copy, batch convert them to M4As with these tools and play them back in iTunes, thats no problem.
Enhancements:
- Revamped the track metadata system.
- Improved the file detection routines.
- Minor bugfixes.

Convert::ASCII::Armor is a Perl module that can convert binary octets into ASCII armoured messages.

SYNOPSIS

See SYNOPSIS in Convert::ASCII::Armour.

Empty subclass of Convert::ASCII::Armour for American English speakers.

Text::Convert::ToImage is a Perl module.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Convert::ToImage;
my $tti = Text::Convert::ToImage->new();
my $length = length($email);
if ($length > 150) {
$email = "Your text length of $length is too large:";
}
my $config = {
TEXT => $email ? $email : "y@hn.org",
POINTSIZE => $point_size ? $point_size : 14,
LEVEL => $level ? $level : 0,
FONT => $font,
XSKEW => $xskew,
YSKEW => $yskew,

};
$tti->calculate($config);
print "Content-type: image/pngnn";
binmode STDOUT;
$tti->Write(png:-);

This was knocked up a long time ago and someone asked me if the source was available so I decided to put it on CPAN. There is very little documentation with it.

There are also very few tests. If more than me and the person who asked for the module use it then I will write some tests for it.

At the moment I have been using it top obfuscate emails and not much else. A demo can be found at http://www.hjackson.org/cgi-bin/tools/email.pl

There are some undocumented features to this module and they are this way because I have not tested to see if they work yet.

Convert::Morse is a package to convert between ASCII text and MORSE alphabet.
SYNOPSIS
use Convert::Morse qw(as_ascii as_morse is_morsable);
print as_ascii(.... . .-.. .-.. --- -- --- .-. ... .),"n";
# Helo Morse
print as_morse(Perl?),"n"; # .--. . .-. .-.. ..--..
print "Yes!n" if is_morsable(Helo Perl.); # print "Yes!"
This module lets you convert between normal ASCII text and international Morse code. You can redefine the token sets, if you like.
INPUT
ASCII text can have both lower and upper case, it will be converted to upper case prior to converting.
Morse code input consists of dashes - and dots .. The elements MUST NOT to have spaces between, e.g. A is .- and not . -. Characters MUST have at least one space between. Additonal spaces are left over to indicate word boundaries. This means .- -... means AB and and .- -... means A B.
The conversion routines are designed to be stable and ignore/skip unknown input, so that you can write:
print as_ascii(Hello -- --- .-. ... . Perl!);
beware, though, a single . or - at the end will be interpreted as . respective - and thus become E or T. Use Convert::Morse::error() to check wether all went ok or not.
OUTPUT
The output will always consist of upper case letters or, in case of as_morse(), of [-. ].
ERRORS
Unknown tokens in the input are ignored/skipped. In these cases you get the last error message with Convert::Morse::error().
Version restrictions:
- Can not yet do Japanese code nor German Umlaute.

Convert::Base32 is a Perl module for encoding and decoding of base32 strings.

SYNOPSIS

use Convert::Base32;

$encoded = encode_base32("x3ax27x0fx93");
$decoded = decode_base32($encoded);

This module provides functions to convert string from / to Base32 encoding, specified in RACE internet-draft. The Base32 encoding is designed to encode non-ASCII characters in DNS-compatible host name parts.

Convert::Cyr, chcp is a Perl module for change cyrillic code page of a text.

SYNOPSIS

use Convert::Cyr qw(chcp); $converted_string=chcp($string, $maxlen, $from, $to);

ABSTRACT

Convert::Cyr, chcp - change cyrillic code page of a text.

chcp takes as the first argument a string that is to be converted. It returns the converted string. Second argument is the lenght of the string. Third is source codepage. Forth is target codepage.

Original description from PHP function:

convert_cyr_string (string str, string from, string to) "This function returns the given string converted from one Cyrillic character set to another. The from and to arguments are single characters that represent the source and target Cyrillic character sets."

The supported types are: k - koi8-r w - windows-1251 i - iso8859-5 a - x-cp866 d - x-cp866 m - x-mac-cyrillic

Time::Convert is a Perl interface to converting unix seconds to years, days, hours and minutes.

SYNOPSIS

use Time::Convert;
my $convert = new Time::Convert;

EXAMPLE

use Time::Convert;
my $convert = new Time::Convert;
$REPLY = $convert->ConvertSecs(time);
print($REPLY);
