Old school??  There are plenty of radio operators that still use
International Morse Code, often call CW (continuous wave,
because it is not modulated)

And people talk much faster than all but the very best operators
can copy.  40 words per minute is _very_ fast, and the record is
75 words per minute.  So if you try to convert all the words
into International Code at a rate that mortal can copy the
talking will get done long before the code is all sent.

Another option is to use existing CW software.  Here is a link
to a list:
http://ac6v.com/morseprograms.htm

Debian has these in the repository:

aldo - Morse code training program
codegroup - Convert any file, including binary, into 5 letter code
cw - Command-line frontend to unixcw
cwcp - Ncurses frontend to unixcw
cwdaemon - morse daemon for the parallel or serial port
cwirc - X-Chat morse plugin
morse - 'Morse Classic' is a morse-code training program for aspiring radio hams
qrq - high speed morse trainer, similar to DL4MM's Rufz
tlf - Console mode purpose CW keyer, logging- and contest program
unixcw - Shared library for Morse programs
xcwcp - Qt frontend to unixcw

Many trainer programs will take ASCII text and generate code an
various rates.
