About

Talk Morse

Features
Read full description

Morse code encoding, decoding and learning morse application. This application enables you to generate and decode Morse code through both audio and visual signals, with adjustable transmission speeds. Designed for flexibility and experimentation, it supports communication using sound (via speaker and microphone) as well as light (via camera flash and camera input). On the sending side, you can convert any text you type into Morse code and transmit it either as audio signals through your device’s speaker or as visual flashes using your camera light. On the receiving side, the app listens for incoming Morse code signals through the microphone or detects light-based signals using the camera. Messages are decoded and displayed in real time, providing immediate feedback. In addition, the app now includes a dedicated learning section where you can practice and improve your Morse code skills. This training page allows you to learn at different speeds (WPM – words per minute), making it suitable for both beginners and more advanced users. 73
