Mobile Words

This is a small program which translates between a text to the corresponing keypresses (and also the other way) on a mobile phone. (I'm a happy user of an Ericsson mobile myself). It also calculates the number of keys to press for typing the text.

Type in a plain text string (e.g. "hello, hakank").
Plain text:
A keystroke sequence is a sequence of key and the number of presses on that key. Example: the keystroke 2:3 means that key 2 is pressed 3 times (i.e. the letter "c"). A keystroke sequence is a list of such keystrokes separated by space (" ").
Type in a keystroke sequence (e.g. 4:2 3:2 5:3 5:3 6:7 1:5 1:1 9:1 6:7 7:3 3:1)
