txt2English

Takes text message language and converts to English.

You are now following this Submission

This program takes standard text message speak and converts it to English. I wrote this for fun and to touch up on my use of while loops and nested if statements. It is definitely not optimized and does not use regexp or other MATLAB built in functions that would make it shorter and faster.

The idea for this submission came from ImageAnalyst in this thread:
