DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Morse code is a complex for studying and working with a morse code, containing a real keyboard for quick text input by a morse code and an application for training your skills. The application contains utilities for converting text to Morse code, as well as reproducing the result through the built-in LED flash of the phone, screen or sound signal. STUDENTS: The application allows you to independently train your Morse code skills in two ways. The first is listening perception. The second is the verification of Morse code from memory. By alternating both methods, you can quickly learn Morse code without much effort. In each training session, there are tips for beginners, which makes it possible to painlessly study the ABCs and do not leave the training mode. Trainings contain a huge number of phrases, so that the classes pass with interest and do not get tired quickly.
