Morse Code Decoding Tips

Proper Morse Code Formatting

For accurate decoding, follow these formatting rules:

  • Use dots (.) for short signals (dits)
  • Use dashes (-) for long signals (dahs)
  • Separate letters with single spaces
  • Separate words with forward slash (/)
  • Don't use spaces between dots and dashes within a single letter

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Incorrect spacing: Ensure proper spacing between letters and words
  • Invalid characters: Only use dots, dashes, spaces and slashes
  • Unknown characters: Some special characters may not be supported
  • Case sensitivity: Morse code is case insensitive in translation

Learning to Recognize Morse Code

  • Start with simple, common letters (E, T, A, etc.)
  • Learn the rhythm of each character rather than counting dots/dashes
  • Practice with common words and phrases
  • Use the audio playback feature to associate sounds with letters
