Yet another way to type amharic on standard english keyboard.
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.
C++11 compiler and CMake
Currently only the cli is buildable. To build the cli
en2am> mkdir build && cd build
en2am/build> cmake ..
en2am/build> make
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
