Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morse code?
Morse code is a method of encoding text characters using sequences of dots and dashes, or short and long signals. It was developed for telegraph communication and is still used today in various applications including amateur radio and accessibility tools.
How long does it take to learn Morse code?
With regular practice using our interactive tools, basic Morse code can be learned in 1-2 weeks. Achieving proficiency typically takes 1-3 months of consistent practice.
Is Morse code still useful today?
Yes, Morse code remains useful in amateur radio, aviation, accessibility solutions for people with disabilities, and emergency communications when other methods fail.
What's the difference between a dot and dash in Morse code?
In Morse code, a dot (·) is a short signal lasting one unit of time, while a dash (−) is a longer signal lasting three units. The space between parts of the same letter is one unit, and between letters is three units.
