Send.Morse vs Morster

Send.Morse is an easy to use application to transmit messages as morse code and decode received light signals in real time back into text. Imagine sitting somewhere in the wilderness. Suddenly you see some mysterious light signals. Is there someone communicating with you? You remember a thing called morse code from your days with the boy scouts but age has faded away some essential basics of this art of communication. No problem anymore – with Send.Morse you have the answer in your hands. To decode some signals you receive from the end of the world simply switch into reveive mode and tap on your iPhone's screen. Your iPhone shows you the received message in no time. It's that easy. Sending a message is as simple as receiving one. Just switch to input mode, type your text with iPhone's keyboard, and press the transmit button. If the secret of dots and slashes – or dits and dahs as we call them – returns to your memory, it's also possible to tap on your iPhone's screen to translate your message into flashing light signals without using the keyboard. You can calibrate your morse pad, so it fits your personal taping speed. Of course we provide a table with all supported signs to you, so you can check if our app is working correctly. This is only for doubters who are still a little bit sceptically about communicating with short and long light signals. ;o) We believe that communication with this old school messenger is lots of fun. So try it out – the proof is in the pudding. Have a look at our video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkisrlMDhrM Available in the following languages: English German Spanish Croatian

Morster is the ultimate morse code tool for iOS devices. Morster can interpret morse code that is created using the key, light from the camera or sounds from the microphone. Playback morse code with configurable sound or lighting effects. Morster is rich with features for learning morse code. Feature List: Graphical Interactive Morse Key Includes short circuit lever Translate Mode - Translate text to and from morse code Morse Code reference, several forms of morse code reference Prosign Ready - Recognize or reference prosign codes QCode Ready - Recognize or reference QCodes Dichotomic View - Morse code relationship chart, great for learning Sticky Note - Display a list of morse code sequences for reference Playback morse code once or in a loop Visual Morse Decoder - Use the camera(s) to analyze morse code signals Audio Morse Decoder - Use the microphone to analyze morse code signals Visual Morse Communication Using screen effect or camera flash Notepad to display morse code Invert morse key function Game Center Ready - Morse with friends! Wifi / Blue Tooth - Morse with friends over Blue Tooth or local wifi network Configurable audio tone In depth help file included Visual Morse Decoder Morster can use the live camera feed to decipher morse code that is being signaled with light. The light source could be coming from a light, mirror or another version of Morster. Use the view finder to focus on the light source, adjust the sensitivity and the morse code will be translated and displayed in the notepad. This feature is only available on devices that have a camera and running iOS 4 or later. Speed tests using an iPhone 4 to signal an iPad 2, both running iOS 5, demonstrate decoding speeds upwards of 30 WPM. Audio Morse Decoder Morster can use the live audio feed to decipher morse code that is being generated using sound. The amplitude of the sound is used to trigger the morse key. When the sound is below the threshold, the key is released. The sound can be any sound, but must have a distinct beginning and end. Currently, Morster does not decipher morse code taps, where there is only the beginning of the signal and not the end. Speed tests using iPhone 4 to signal iPad 2, both running iOS 5, demonstrate decoding speeds upwards of 13 WPM. For faster decoding of morse code, we suggest professional hardware. This feature is processor intensive and performance will vary between devices. Morse Decoding Morster will analyze the speed that morse code is keyed and automatically adjust to interpret the code. This allows for slight variances in speed that will still be properly analyzed. Visual Morse Feature Devices that have a camera flash can use it to signal with morse code. When enabled pressing the morse key will also turn on the flash. When morse code is played back, the camera flash will be used in conjunction with the tone. A Visual Morse screen can be configured to use the screen to signal with morse code. The visual feature can use an image of a light bulb or a color. The shape can be circular or rectangular. Shutters can be used, with a modifiable shutter count and speed. This feature is only activated for morse playback. On supported devices, it is possible to use either feature or both at the same time. Translate Mode It is possible to enter text into the notepad and then convert it to morse code. It is also possible to use the morse code keyboard and enter morse code that can be translated to characters. Morse Code / Prosign / QCode / Dichotomomic View A list of morse code characters is provided in list form or as a sticky near the morse key. A list of Prosigns and QCodes are included. These are sequences of letters that have special meaning in different morse code applications. For example SOS = ...---... = Distress Message. A dichotomic view of morse code shows the relationship between characters of the alphabet.
