Morse Code Keyer
Morse Code Keyer allows text entry from Morse code input. It features a CW paddle type interface with a dit key and a dash key to enter the characters. This is good way to practice generating Morse code. This practice can solidify skills in learning and forming the Morse code characters. This skill can translate directly to sending CW on the ham radio bands if you have an amateur radio license. If you don't have a license, it can be fun to impress your friends with messages you composed with Morse code.
Features: -Full Iambic keyer. -Send entered text by SMS or email-Iambic mode can be turned on and off. -Adjustable auto word spacing. -Easy adjustment of side tone frequency (200 – 1500Hz). -Easy adjustment of WPM. -Adjustment of sound envelope to affect quality of sound. -Stand alone keyboard in pro version.
This is the free version and has the same functionality as the pro version, but contains ads and does not contain a stand alone keyer. Using this app is a good way to evaluate if this works well on your device.
The keyer is a full Iambic keyer with one caveat. If you push the dah key, then press the dit key, the characters will alternate like an Iambic keyer. The issue is if you lift your finger off of the dah key, the output will stop instead of continuing to repeat the dit character. This is due to the way Android multi-touch works. In the same scenario, lifting the dit finger will allow the dah characters to continue.
Morse Code Keyer features a settings screen where screen layout, keyer and sound settings are adjustable.
The layout options consist of turning on and off a small popup window. This window will show the dits and dahs as they are entered. The side of the screen the dit key is on can be adjusted (right or left). There is also an option that affects the visibility of the words per minute (WPM) slider.
For the keyer you can adjust whether or not the keys should repeat. For example, holding the dah key repeats the dah key at the current WPM setting. Iambic mode is also adjustable. With this on and when both keys are pressed, the dits and dahs will alternate. The auto spacing feature is also adjustable. This adds spaces automatically at word boundaries.
The sound setting that is adjustable is the rise and fall time envelope percentage. The percentage is of the total dit time. Lo

This app is great for practice but I'd like for there to be an option to disable the prompts for discarding text
Oh, this is close to being perfect! Can you make the keyboard more customizable so both buttons could be made bigger along with the spacebar…?
Please make a *straight key mode" of it where there is only 1 button and it will create a dash if you hold it and dot when you just tap it.
It's great for receiving, but has no way to send. I'm one that wants to keep my fist up to par. I'd like to be able to send as well.
Great but please give me an option to switch between straight key and paddle key
Easy and simple, just what I was looking for. Thank you.
The best you can get on a smartphone.
Brilliant app use it all the time. Well done.
Excellent ... I use it train youngsters on Morse.
So previously I had given this app a 1 star review and found the cause of the issue, namely: slow hardware. If you have a slow phone, it may affect how the app registers WPM. I still have the occasional ... become .... despite only pressing it 3 times, but still seems to be hardware-related. It would be nice if there was an option to use a single button for typing morse.
When unlocking the screen, the speed resets back to 25 wpm regardless of how you set it.
For what it does it does very well.It would be great if there was a way to attach an actual key to the usb port of the android device. And record the keyed input.
Hooked it in my 2meter transceiver.. receiving stations reported the sound is very good.
Great practice tool for morse code! Would recommend!
Would love to have vibration option
It's a international means of communication. No inter net is required 😀😀😀😀😀
This is a great app. I have used it with pleasurable success for sending well formatted e-mails from a tiny android. Although there is a problem with regard to dot/dash generation, especially when other apps are working in the background, I must give it a 5-Star rating as it has elevated the status of my humble android to that of a powerful communications tool. Many thanks.
This app doesn't install a keyboard that you can use in other apps. Other Morse keyboard apps let you use them in any app.
How do you expect us to use this without a chart!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀🔦🔊📧 I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!
This is so hard to type on. Keys often press twice when I only pressed them once. Customizable speed has two settings, too slow, or too fast. I'll either get spaces between every character, or all of my dits and dahs trying to combine.
It's great for what it is, but i was really hoping for an option to do it with a single button rather than having to move my finger from a - - to a . all the time.
This app is yerible it keeps seperating dots and dashs that shuld be together
Waste of my time!
Using the Motorla G7 play I found it very responsive. However it would be nice if there was a straight key option. Apart from that an excellent app.
