Morse Texter

S60

After reading this and this and this I decided to knock up this dodgy prototype amazing application for S60 v2.x phones (but not v1.x or v3.x – check your version here. Tap in some Morse code, and then send it as an SMS. Keys are:

  • 1, 4, 7, or * - Dot
  • 2, 5, 8, or 0 - Space
  • 3, 6, 9, or # - Dash
  • Left arrow - Dot
  • OK key - Space
  • Right arrow - Dash
  • C key - Delete last dot, dash or letter
  • Call/green key - Send as SMS

For a gap between letters, press space once. For a gap between words, press space a second time.

Here’s the source (Google Code, GitHub), do whatever you want with it. Some ideas:

  • Add short and long key press handling on the OK key for dot and dash input, with proper timing to add character and word spaces
  • Centre the Morse characters and make them bigger/bolder
  • More ideas
