=head1 NAME

soxdial - generate DTMF (touchtone) audio

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<soxdial> [I<global-options>] [ [I<dial-options>] [I<dial-string>] ... ]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<soxdial> uses B<sox>(1) to generate DTMF tones (aka touchtone
dialling). Output can be played through the system sound card, or
saved to a file of any type supported by sox.

By default, letters are accepted and converted to numbers, according
to the layout of a touchtone phone (e.g. A = 2, M = 6, etc). If the
extended touchtone digits A, B, C, and D are needed, they can be
enabled with the B<-x>, B<--extended> option (see below).

=head1 OPTIONS

Note that option bundling is not supported. Use e.g. B<-v -n>, not B<-vn>. Also,
spaces are required between options and their arguments. Use e.g. B<-b 16>,
not B<-b16>.

Also, GNU style --option=value is not supported (use B<--bits 16>, not B<--bits=16>).

=head2 Global Options

These options affect the entire output. They should only be given once,
before any dial strings or dial options.

=over 4

=item B<-o>, B<--output> I<output>

Write sox's output to a file, rather than playing it. The file format
is determined by the filename extension. Use B<.wav> for RIFF WAVE
output, B<.flac> for FLAC, B<.ogg> for Ogg Vorbis, or anything else
(including no extension) for raw audio samples. The special filename B<->
writes raw samples to standard output.

=item B<-r>, B<--rate> I<rate>

Set the bitrate in hertz (or kilohertz if followed by B<k>. Default is
8000 (or 8k). You should probably stick with standard bitrates such as
22050, 44100, 48000, etc, although this is not enforced. This option
B<must> occur on the command line B<before> any dial string.

=item B<-b>, B<--bits> I<bits>

Set the bits per sample. Default is 8. The only other choice is 16.
8-bit samples will be encoded as unsigned, and 16-bit will be encoded
as signed. This option B<must> occur on the command line B<before> any
dial string.

=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>

Print verbose information, including the generated B<sox> command, on standard
error.

=item B<-n>, B<--no-exec>

Do not execute the generated B<sox> command. This option also
enables B<-v>.

=item B<-V>, B<--version>

Print the version number of B<soxdial>, then exit.

=item B<--help>

Prints this help text, via B<perldoc>(1), then exit.

=item B<--man>

Prints this help text as a man page, via B<pod2man>(1), then exit. Suggested use:

  soxdial --man > soxdial.1

Then B<soxdial.1> can be installed in e.g. /usr/man/man1 or
/usr/share/man/man1 or wherever your OS keeps its man pages.

=head2 Dial Options

These options can be mixed freely with dial strings, and are applied
as they're found on the command line. Each one affects the rest of the
dial strings, until the same option is seen again.

=over 4

=item B<-l>, B<--length> [ I<sec> | I<millisec>B<ms> ]

Sets the time each digit's tones are played. Default is 0.25
or 250ms.

=item B<-d> I<sec>, B<--delay> [ I<sec> | I<millisec>B<ms> ]

Sets the delay between consecutive digits. Default is 0.1
or 100ms.

=item B<-c> I<sec>, B<--comma> [ I<sec> | I<millisec>B<ms> ]

Sets the delay added by commas in the dial strings. Default is 0.5
or 500ms.

=item B<-x>, B<--extended>

Allows the extended touchtone pad keys A, B, C, and D. B<Disables>
letter-to-number conversions.

=item B<-a>, B<--alphabet>

Disables extended touchtone pad keys A, B, C, and D; re-enables
letter-to-number conversions. This is the default; this option exists
to turn off a prior B<-x>, B<--extended> option.

=item B<-t>  B<--dialtone> [ I<sec> | I<millisec>B<ms> ]

Play I<sec> (or I<millisec> ms) of dialtone before the next dial string.

=item B<-s>, B<--silence> [ I<sec> | I<millisec>B<ms> ]

Play I<sec> (or I<millisec> ms) of silence before the next dial string.

=back

=head2 Dial Strings

These are the actual digits to be dialled. DTMF digits 0 to 9, #,
and * are supported. By default, letters are also supported, and will
be converted to digits according to the standard layout of touchtone
phones (e.g. A through C convert to 2, D through F are 3, etc).

Q and Z weren't present on classic phones, but they will be converted
to 7 and 9, respectively (like modern cell phones).

To add an extra delay between digits, use a comma (and see the B<-c>,
B<--comma> option to set the length of the delay).

To play the extra DTMF tones for the extended 16-digit keypad (which has
A, B, C, and D keys), use the B<-x>, B<--extended> option. This disables
letter-to-number conversion, but it can be re-enabled later on the
command line with the B<-a>, B<--alphabet> option.

All characters that aren't mentioned above, will be silently
ignored. This allows you to paste a phone number in the form B<(555)
555-1212> and have it work correctly.

=head1 NOTES

B<1.> B<soxdial> works by iterating over the words on the command
line, and building up an array of B<sox> commands for each dial string
or segment of dial tone. At the end, all the B<sox> commands are run
and their combined output (as raw samples) is piped to another B<sox>
command that writes the output as a single audio stream (raw, .wav,
or whatever format the B<-o>, B<--output> filename indicates). It has
to be done this way because B<sox> doesn't allow multiple B<synth>
arguments in the same command (or, it does, but they don't work as
expected, or at all). Because the final B<sox> command reads only raw
audio, it's impossible to change the bitrate or sample size in between
dial strings.

B<2.> If anything on the command line starts with B<-> but isn't a
recognized option, it's not an error: it gets treated as a dial
string. This allows e.g. I<555 -1212> to work correctly, but
mistyped options will result in them being dialled as alphabetic
characters. This may be a bit surprising the first time it happens.

B<3.> I haven't been able to test this with a real land-line phone to
see whether it will actually dial out.

B<4.> Possibly there will be support for bluebox tones in the future.
