Converting from Binary to Text

I receive a binary bit stream, of 7 ascii bits per letter, into an array. I convert it to char by doing the following:

out=char(bin2dec(num2str(reshape(rx_bit_stream,7,[])).'));

However, the output is in the format:

T

e

s

t

How can I make it:

Note: Instead of using num2str(expression) you can use char('0' + expression)

Looks like a column vector and you want a row vector, so how about

out = out'; % Transpose.
