Talk:3054: Scream Cipher
Anyone know a good free all-language OCR tool to help with the transcript? 172.69.67.156 17:30, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Found one here: https://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/diacritics.htm --mezimm 172.68.2.70 17:52, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
The written cipher is very interesting, but where can I hear recordings of the spoken form? Rockymountain 17:31, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Here ya go. --mezimm 172.68.35.117 17:54, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Are Cueball and Megan millenials? Who else would text greetings when they're standing right next to each other? Barmar (talk) 17:38, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- They could be texting other people. B for brain (talk) (youtube channel wobsite (supposed to be a blag)) 19:37, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Likely a pun on "stream cipher"

- The page you link to came into existence 7 minutes after I had posted this comment ;) I was doing it all manually, using this page and best-guess attempts to interpret what Randall's handwritten diacritics were meant to correspond to. --mezimm 172.68.1.158 19:55, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

On Wikifunctions, we implemented the two functions to Scream Cipher and from Scream Cipher --172.70.38.235 18:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Is there a logic behind the choices of the letter? I guess A̧ is for C because of the French ç and Å is pronounced like O in some Nordic languages. Also, is it A̱, A̲ or A̲ ? (or something else). 172.71.126.50 18:10, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Seems to be mostly visual similarity. Å has an actual O shape added to it. 172.70.110.171 20:19, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I give it a week for people to make a translator to and from this cipher. Caliban (talk) 18:20, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- The Wikifunctions translations above were complete at least 11 minutes before your comment and well within the goal of one week :-) . Mwarren (talk) 19:04, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Numbers should be variations of h and/or g. Andyd273 (talk) 18:32, 21 February 2025 (UTC)#
- H > g SqueakSquawk4 (talk) 18:59, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Using sed you can encode with sed 's/C/A̧/g;s/D/A̱/g;s/F/A̮/g;s/G/A̋/g;s/H/A̰/g;s/J/A̓/g;s/P/A̯/g;s/Q/A̤/g;s/X/A̽/g;s/Y/A̦/g;y/BEIKLMNORSTUVWZ/ȦÁẢẠĂǍÂÅȂÃĀÄÀȀȺ/' and decode with sed 's/A̧/C/g;s/A̱/D/g;s/A̮/F/g;s/A̋/G/g;s/A̰/H/g;s/A̓/J/g;s/A̯/P/g;s/A̤/Q/g;s/A̽/X/g;s/A̦/Y/g;y/ȦÁẢẠĂǍÂÅȂÃĀÄÀȀȺ/BEIKLMNORSTUVWZ/'. 162.158.159.102 18:41, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
It would be really funny if someone added an image of Bill Cipher screaming, with the tag "A screaming cipher". It wouldn't reall fit but it'd be funny SqueakSquawk4 (talk) 18:59, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I did. B for brain (talk) (youtube channel wobsite (supposed to be a blag)) 19:57, 21 February 2025 (UTC) (EDIT: WOW, that thing is MASSIVE! Can someone please downscale it because I have no idea how. You have permission to edit my comment only for that.) (DOUBLE EDIT: Nevermind, I did it.)
Someone started a GitHub repo with a web-based encoded/decoder already: https://github.com/Reginald-Gillespie/StreamCipher Dlech (talk) 19:35, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I know you can decode a substitution cipher by counting letters and replacing common ones like 'E' and then filling in the rest by inspection, but what kinds of automated approaches are there? 162.158.159.105 20:14, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
