✨ ALDO(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

Okay so bestie, ALDO is literally the iconic console morse code trainer 🦋 Look at this glow-up: it's built from scratch in ISO C++ 💅 using the GNU C++ Standard Library and libao (www.xiph.org/ao). Obsessed. 😭

🌸 NAME

aldo — a fully console morse code trainer written in ISO C++ 💖

🧚 SYNOPSIS

aldo

Literally just type aldo and you're in. No extra flags needed, no cap 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION

Aldo is developed from scratch in ISO C++ using GNU C++ Standard Library and libao (www.xiph.org/ao). It's a morse code learning tool that gives you four training methods, and they're all giving main character energy ✨

Blocks Identify blocks of random characters played in morse code. Pure chaos, lowkey the best way to test yourself 🙈

Koch Two morse characters get played at full speed (20wpm) 🔥 and you keep going until you can identify at least 90 percent of them. Once you've ate that, one more character gets added, and so on. It's giving progression, iykyk 👑

File Identify played characters that are generated from a file. Bring your own study material, bestie 🎀

Callsign Identify random callsigns played in morse code. Ham radio girlies, this one's for you 📻🌈

🫶 NOTES

The "Device" option under the keyer depends on the particular driver. The "default" setting picks the default sound device. This option may be used to pick a different soundcard than the default one. Not me wanting a different soundcard 💀

For alsa, it is "hw:<card>,<device>", where the card and device number are the particular hardware devices. The default is generally "hw:0.0". Generally 0 is the first card, 1 is the second, etc. Some sound cards may have multiple output devices, and the device picks the particular one 🦋

For oss, sun, and aixs, it is the device name, like /dev/dsp. ✨

For esd, it is the host name, like "whizbang.com:555". 🍓

It is not used on any other drivers. Don't stress about it, bestie 🌸
