Morse It!

Inspiration

We wanted to create an offline-accessible application for emergencies in which people need to use Morse code and for when people want to communicate in a more secure method rather than just plain text.

What it does

The app allows you to convert text to Morse code and Morse code back to text in a native app, all without internet access!

How we built it

We used Android Studio to create the app, and Java for the conversion algorithm.

Challenges we ran into

The conversion of Morse code back into text was finicky, but we managed to improve the algorithm to a near perfect accuracy.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The conversion works smoothly and efficiently, at minimal cost to the device's performance, and without any need for internet access.

What we learned

We learned how to write a Morse code conversion algorithm using dictionaries in java.

What's next for Morse It!

We want to allow the messages that you convert to Morse code to also be played back through your phone's flashlight.
