Frequently asked questions
How do I read Morse Code audio?
Short sounds (dots or 'dits') are one unit long. Long sounds (dashes or 'dahs') are three units long. Spaces between letters are three units, and spaces between words are seven units.
Can I use Morse Code without audio?
Yes! You can use the visual text representation with dots and dashes, or use light signals (short flash = dot, long flash = dash) to communicate.
