Russian Morse Code
Russian Morse code gives every Cyrillic letter its own code, mostly borrowed from the Latin letter that sounds the same. Type in Russian to see and hear it, or tap any letter in the chart.
Save
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
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.
Set overall speed lower than letter speed for Farnsworth timing: letters stay quick, the gaps get longer. This is how most people learn.

Procedural signals (prosigns)
Sent as one signal with no gap between the letters. Type them in angle brackets, like <SK>.
How the Russian code was built
Cyrillic letters take the code of the Latin letter with a similar sound: Л is ·−·· like L, Р is ·−· like R. Letters with no Latin match were given the codes of Latin letters that Russian does not need: Щ uses Q (−−·−), Ж uses V (···−) and Ь uses X (−··−). The same pairing was later used for the Russian computer character sets KOI-7 and KOI-8.
Ё and Ъ
Ё has no code of its own and is sent as Е. Ъ has its own code (−−·−−) in the Russian table, but most operators now send Ь in its place. Numbers and punctuation are the same as in International Morse.
