Speak and Spell Code Feature Cracked!

OK, that subject line makes this sound more cool that it really is. The process was pretty simple. A little python script is attached that you can run locally. I’ll probably remake this in Javascript using a cool image based font that looks like the display on the speak and spell, but for now I just wanted to post this before I forgot about it. (I almost recycled it while cleaning off my desktop!)

In case you’re not familiar with the Speak & Spell, the code feature is a simple, reversible encoding program where you enter a short phrase and it will encrypt it. If you encrypt it again you get the original phrase. It is not rot13 but it works similarly.
