For anyone interested, there is an app called Chirp by Animal systems that attempted to make data transfer over audio a relevant form of communication. It actually works quite well to push links from my computer to my phone on Airplane mode with the help of a custom python script.

Further offtopic: Chirps include reed-solomon error correction. I'm seeking assistance with reverse engineering it https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/663643/discover-par...

If there's anything that Chirp does that you feel is missing from Quiet, please let me know. I'd love to expand the feature set and make it more useful.

Do you think that you could share the script?

Sure, the base is just https://github.com/joextodd/chirp.io/blob/master/chirp.py, nothing too fancy...
