Morse Code Translator: Food for the brain.
What hath god wrought?

Or if you prefer it in morse code: ".--/..../.-/-//..../.-/-/....//--./---/-..//.--/.-./---/..-/--./..../-/..--.."
This was the first morse message ever transmitted by wires from Samuel Morse.

Morse Code Translator v1.90

This Mose Code Translator converts text to morse code and vice versa. Just enter your message either as plain text or as morse code and the widget will translate it - automatically. And if you are curious about what combination of dots and dashes a certain letter is just look it up...

So who needs this widget anyway? To be honest hardly anyone really needs it. But if you're a boyscout and you want to train your skills or you're just too lazy to manually translate everything it might be right for you. Or if you want to send messages to colleagues but you don't want your boss to understand the content. Or if you're just curious about all those dashes and dots and you simply like the sleek design of this widget then I would recommend to download it!

Download this widget now for free and if you and your tiger like it consider making a small donation for me. It won't hurt you but it helps me out a lot!

enter morse code

You might get to the point where you start writing morse code by yourself. Or you just got a very cryptic email from someone that needs to be translated. Well, here's the right place for that.

copy text

I guess you won't need this button too often but just in case you've got the option. By clicking it, it will copy the plain text or translation into your clipboard and let's you paste the content anywhere you want.

copy morse

To make your friends go crazy by instantly sending them morse messages through IMs and making them wonder "How could he possibly be so fast writing that?" that's the right button to push. It copies the code to the clipboard.

Listen to Fred

Let Fred or one of his brave friends read out the morse message for you. You can choose between 23 different characters. Isn't that hot?

 

make it blink

Visualize it! By hitting this light bulb it will start to blink what's been written in morse code.

 

get a clue

This button leads you to knowledge. It solves the mystery about those confusing dot and dash combinations

 

the key

Here you'll find the exact translation of every letter or symbol. This function can be very useful if you want to memorize the code so you won't need this widget anymore.

 

reset everything

This could be quite helpful if you want to start writing a new morse message or you just want to get rid of some old stuff...

 

The Back Side Features

 

who am I?

This question is answered by this little buddy. It will tell the version number of whe widget playing with your tiger.

If you could only do this your car too... Push a button and see whether there's a new version out there. But the best thing is you will be directed to a download page where you can get the new version for free!

I hear voices

Well, at least you can choose here which voice you want to hear. It's your decision to who reads out for you.

 

¿Usted habla español?

¡Si señor! Morse Translator is multilingual! It speaks English, German, Spanish, French and Turkish so far. If you want to help me a bit, send your translation. Every language supported by mac OS X is welcome!

 

please support me

As I'm not a huge company but kind of one-man-show it would be a good deed to send me just a little bit money. This won't hurt you but it helps me a lot!

 

review in Maclife Magazine 9/2006

This widget was listed among four other widgets that "should be on every mac". Read the whole article here! (article in German)

 

Morse Code Translator 1.60

"Lang-Lang ist kein chinesicher Wissenschaftler, sonder der Morsecode für den Buchstaben “M”. Die bekannteste Morsebotschaft ist wohl das S.O.S., andere Piepsbotschaften lassen sich mit diesem Widget erstellen oder entschlüsseln und in die Zwischenablage kopieren.

 

Fazit

Dem Widget fehlt eigentlich nur eines: die Wiedergabe der Morsezeichen."
