#EN2AM

Why I created it? I didn't like the way current converters work. They slow down my typing speed because each group of characters are converted on the fly as I am typing another, causing me to stop for a while until I am able to figure out where the caret has been repositoned. I thought the best approach to not loosing speed would be to convert it using batch mode on every line or in the event of a key hit.

#Requirement

C++11 compiler and CMake

#Building

Currently only the cli is buildable. To build the cli

en2am> mkdir build && cd build

en2am/build> cmake ..

en2am/build> make

#Runnig

Currently the tool can only be used from the command line

example

en2am/build> ./en2am

Usage

en2am [input_file_path] [output_file_path]

en2am <"STRING">

en2am/core> ./en2am "yh ya^ityophyaa hzb dmts naw"

ይህ የኢትዮጵያ ህዝብ ድምፅ ነው

Note: You may use programs like xclip for transferrign CLI text to teh OS's clipboard. eg. on linux:

en2am "yh ya^ityophyaa hzb dmts naw" | xclip -selection clip

All mappings are found in core/en2am.h
