Humans are not very skilled at remembering or communicating 1's and 0's, but we are pretty skilled at communicating using words. This project is an attempt to convert data into a format that is easier to communicate without using a computer.

data-to-words is a command-line utility which converts an input stream into words. It was mainly an exercise to get to know Go better.

$ data-to-words --help
data-to-words 0.1.0

Pipe some bytes to me or pass bytes to me as an argument.
