Learn Morse code by pressing a key, not by memorising a chart. Tap the knob or Space for a dit, hold it for a dah, and a paper tape prints what you send. You learn two letters right away and send your first message. Then twenty short chapters teach the rest, with real words from chapter one, and after each letter it shows you where your timing slipped. Once you know a few, type a message for the machine to send, paste in Morse to read it, or key Morse into any app.
Hi everyone,
Morse code is just two sounds, a short one and a long one, and somehow that's enough to spell anything. Every way I tried to learn it felt like studying a chart. I wanted it to feel like using a real machine.
So Dot & Dash is a key you can actually press. Hold Space or click the knob: a tap is a dit, a hold is a dah, and a little paper tape prints what you send.
A few things I'm proud of:
• You send your first message in the welcome, before you've studied anything
• Twenty short chapters, with real words from chapter one (AT, EAT, TEA)
• After each letter, it shows which dits and dahs ran short or long, so you learn the rhythm instead of a chart
• Hold Right Option and you can key Morse into any app
I'd love to know what you'd send first. And if you already know Morse, tell me how the timing feels.
