Translate Morse Code to Text

Description

The HotPaw Morse Code Decoder translates Morse Code sound into text. Just use the microphone or headset input on your iPhone or iPad for the audio signal input, and watch decoded text appear.
The Morse Code Decoder includes both an automatic decoding mode, plus manual controls to allow the decoding of weaker signals in noise and QRM. Manually adjustable parameters include the frequency of the audio filter, the WPM dot/dash speed used for detecting characters, the threshold level of background noise, and whether Farnsworth timing is to be used for detecting spaces between individual characters.
The Morse Code Decoder includes a built-in spectrogram to help determine the audio frequency of the Morse Code tones. Use the optional narrow-band DSP audio filter to help filter out background noise. The audio filter works for tone frequencies from 300 to 2400 Hz. Please do not try to decode tones outside this range.
The Morse code WPM (words per minute) detection speed is automatically adaptive from about 8 to 40 WPM, and can be locked to the current estimated WPM dot speed. You can also manually set the WPM code speed if the automatic speed detection guesses incorrectly. A QRQ High Speed WPM mode setting allows decoding much higher WPM speeds in the range of 30 to 80 WPM.
Please aim your iPhone microphone at the Morse Code sound source so that the iPhone's noise cancelling microphone doesn't cancel it out. You can see if sound is getting to the iPhone by seeing a peak in the spectrum display. Please use the manual settings if automatic decoding does not adjust to the frequency, WPM. or background noise threshold level properly. Decoding will not work if the audio filter or WPM are set incorrectly, or there is a lot of background noise or room echoes above the threshold setting. Please see the help file on the HotPaw website for hints as to how to solve decoding issues.

not very robust

0xDEADCELL on

This app is not very robust to imperfect audio. I’ve had much greater success with GGMorse.

Great app and great help to learn CW with instant feedback

Newbie but learning on

United States

Very pleased with this app and worth the price. I’m new to CW and this is helping to train my ears and finger coordination with instant feedback if my dits are correct. It really helped with my d,b,h,5,6. Thank for the app. Highly recommend.

Iphone 12 It Works!!

I am using a QRP Guys KD1JV code practice oscillator and a side swipe type “cootie” key. The oscillator output is hardwired to a Bluetooth speaker from great wall mart of China. The Bluetooth speaker must have an input jack. That is my set up to practice sending. This app does a very good job of helping you practice good sending. I did turn on the Nero filter. I also followed the directions to adjust the kilohertz tone of the speaker output manually.

-. --- - --. .-. . .- - ... --- ..-. .- .-. .-.-.- Seems very susceptible to noise. Frequently decodes things as E's and I's. If you are in a quiet room with absolutely perfect code coming out of the speaker it might be pretty reliable. For a person with an oscillator and practice key this probably won't work well. Better to find a friend to practice with.

It works!

I took a risk buying this app to use it to solve the Morse cyphers on Battlefield One, and it works! I sat my phone next to the TV and the app was able to automatically translate the code with ease. THANK YOU!

Battlefield 1

Totally a IGN Reviewer XD on

United States

At first when I was using this app it was garbage it’s not actually not. I was using it for the bf1 easter eggs but my results came out complete gibberish I was mad because I was like did I really just spent $10 on a app that doesn’t even work!? It turns out it wasn’t the app it was that stupid extremely loud background noise in the game that was ruining it. So for bf1 players out there to make the background noise a lot more quiet is by settings> audio> sound preset> war tapes then the app should perfectly decode your morse code message. Good luck! PS: Remember to blast your TV volume when decoding the message @(・●・)@

Will not decode on iPhone 11

Demaggg on

United States

I have tried all the settings, manual and automatic. Nothing but random text. I had a free app on my android phone that worked. How do I get my money back? Deleting

Types “e”, repeatedly

Okhouri on

United States

There’s one thing this app does well, and it’s to type the letter e again and again

No luck whatsoever

William Kucharski on

United States

No matter what settings I used I could never get the app to accurately decode more than four or five characters in a row. It seems to want to decode most things as a string of “e”s. A sad waste of $9.99.

Perfect

Rob1432987 on

United States

Works perfect, got it went right to 40m, found some clear code, didn’t miss a letter, ran W1AW at multiple speeds, perfect copy. Found a QSO in the noise @ 25 wpm, got 1 e. Found a station way in the noise at 35 WPM, per HRD, that’s when I got quite a few missed characters. But head copying I’d have gone right past it, way into the noise and very faint, it did great in my opinion. That is all without touching the settings. My first regret, is spending far more money on other decoders that I THOUGHT were good till I heard this one, second regret is that I was to apprehensive to buy the pro version, wish I had spent ten more and got it now. BTW, I rarely write a reviews, this warranted letting you know it’s GOOD!
