Pause for a letter gap, pause longer for a word gap. On a computer the space bar works too. Timing follows the speed in Settings.

Decode Morse from sound or a picture

Pitch: -Speed: -

Play a Morse tone near the microphone, or open a recording. The decoder finds the pitch and the speed by itself and works best on a clean tone between 300 and 1500 Hz. An image works when the dots and dashes are solid shapes on a plain background, like a screenshot or a printed card. Nothing is uploaded: everything is processed on your device.
