Morse Code for Android

Gmail team celebrated this year’s April Fools day with Gmail Tap.

That, of course, made me smile.  But it also made me think.  It’s been a long while since I wanted to learn Morse Code.  I knew bits and pieces for years, and I could probably transmit my SOS if nobody was shouting in panic.  But I’ve always wanted to allocate the time and learn not only how to send out the full alphabet, but also get some receiving practice.

A few seconds, I’ve downloaded two Android apps to my phone:

  1. Morse Code Trainer that I hope will help me learn the alphabet, and
  2. Morse Code Keyboard that I hopefully will use to get some practice.

All that obviously can’t guarantee that I’ll learn anything at all. But at least I’m trying to get myself started…
