AUDIO AND WRITTEN MORSE โข Decode live audio with automatic carrier detection. Farnsworth detection handles longer gaps, showing character and effective WPM. โข Import WAV, MP3, M4A or AAC; try the sample or translate written Morse. โข Play recordings with timed text. Inspect confidence and Morse, seek to characters, and correct or restore text. โข Decoder Pro adds synchronized spectrograms, character alternatives, carrier tuning, character/effective WPM locks, sensitivity, and filtering, and a live waterfall. โข Keep audio-decoding results in the local Session Library. Audio/graphs are not saved; light results stay in memory. APPLE WATCH AUDIO DECODER Decode Morse with the Watch microphone and read text and character/effective speeds on your wrist. Keep the app open; no nearby iPhone is needed. One Premium subscription or lifetime purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. LIGHT DECODER Aim the rear camera at one flashing light. Move the target by touch or accessible controls, allow calibration, and follow or copy the decoded text. Use 5โ7 WPM, a steady phone and clear light. Lighting, motion and camera timing affect reception. For learning, not emergencies. Camera access starts on request; no images/video are saved or uploaded. ENCODE AND SEND Turn text into International Morse, play or copy it, and export WAV/M4A audio. Send visible Morse through Screen Flash or the rear Flashlight at up to 7 WPM, without a 60-second cutoff. Haptic output supports transmissions up to 60 seconds. Stop visible output if it causes discomfort. MORSE TREE Watch dots and dashes light up paths in Encoder and the live audio Decoder. Explore the tree with a demo or by tapping letters. In Practice โ Morse Code Basics, follow, predict, build and listen without hints. Progress is saved and mistakes join Practice Coach reviews. PRACTICE AT YOUR PACE Learn with beginner lessons, Koch groups, Farnsworth spacing, callsigns, prosigns, Q-codes, QSO exchanges, custom drills, WPM ladders, and sending practice. Today's Practice uses spaced reviews. Repeat recording segments or turn decoded text into clean listening exercises with Practice this. Koch progress is preserved. FREE AND PREMIUM Free includes text conversion, beginner and Koch learning, daily practice, selected-character drills, the Send key, Callsigns, and character correction/restore. Free audio playback supports 60 seconds per transmission. Microphone and light decoding allow 30 seconds per session after the first signal lock; later signal loss does not pause that allowance. Free imported files may be up to 30 seconds. Restart to begin another free session. Premium unlocks longer audio playback and decoding, light decoding without a session time limit, WAV/M4A export, Decoder Pro, the complete Session Library, advanced coaching and history, Guided Sending, signal conditions, saved custom presets, and WPM ladders.

Camera capture runs in the foreground and stops for interruptions, frame stalls, or excessive heat, including with Premium. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Core processing stays on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SendBySound at none against MorseScope's 2. MorseScope's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
