Morse Code Explorer

Various communication methods evolved throughout the years, some of which rely entirely on sound. For instance, the Morse Code only uses dashes and dots to represent characters, each component being equipped with a distinct sound. As such, Morse Code Explorer wants to help you learn and understand this communication mode.

Convert between Morse code and regular text

First of all, the application doesn’t take any of your time and effort with a setup process, thus letting you check out its set of features from the moment download is done. This also enables it to be carried around on a thumb drive, just in case you want to use it on other computers besides our own. Note, however, the .NET Framework is required to make it work.
The visual design consists of a dual-pane area used for character conversion. On the one hand, there’s the input field which accepts either Morse or regular characters, while the other displays the corresponding translation, which is accomplished at the press of a button.

Configurable settings, and alternative input

On the bright side of things, the application doesn’t let you explore the Morse code through interpretations and repetitive conversion, and also offers a code chart to explore the correlation between regular and Morse Code characters. The entire chart can be copied to clipboard in case you want to save it somewhere.
Moreover, you have the freedom of using an alternative input method, namely with the mouse. One button places dots, while the other dashes, and you can tell by the info field, as well as the real-time audio feedback. Delay times can be adjusted in the settings panel, as well as the possibility to pick different sound effects for dots and dashes.

On an ending note

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Morse Code Explorer is a practical tool you can use to learn the Morse Code, but also send messages this way to an individual using the same program to decode it. With a built-in chart, mouse input, and configurable effects, it’s sure to be worth your while overall.
