Description of App

Morse-It is an easy to use application that allows to translate, interpret, type, learn, convert Morse code, and much more.
It is retina display enhanced, universal binary (run on iPhone/iPod AND iPad), and is compatible with VoiceOver.

Type some text and it will be automatically encoded into some fullscreen flashing effect of the associated Morse code.
The flash light of your device will also be used.

Your "SOS" messages will be seen quite far away !

Some sound will also be played accordingly. In detailed mode, the text being encoded is scrolling through the decoding process.

Tap some morse code onto the screen and the program will translate it into some text.
Different input types are handled : Novice, Straight key, Memory Paddle, Iambic Paddle (A and B), Microphone. Left and right handed modes supported.
Test and improve your skills : are you good enough to be understood?

Create audio files containing Morse code in a dynamic way or from a given text.
Use those files as you wish : listen to them to train your decoding skills or use them as ringtones for your phone.

Exclusive feature allowing to decode, in real time, the Morse code recorded from the microphone (if available) into Text.
Some automatic calibration is performed, allowing adaptation to speed, tone and volume changes.

The full Morse alphabet can also be consulted and the associated Morse code can be played.
Tapped and decoded text can be edited and exported to the clipboard, the In-app email and SMS.
A special screen allows textual conversion of morse code and text. Exchange encoded messages with your friends.

Wikipedia and Visual Mnemonic screens allowing to get informations and mnemonics regarding morse code.
You can also add your own web sites for an in-app consultation.
All the application is highly configurable (Frequency, WPM, tone type, color, morse characters, variables ...)

!!! As seen on TV !!! (UK) in Most Haunted Live: Apparently you can use it to communicate with ghosts (no guaranty though)

I bought this app a few years ago, and find it to be OK for the most part. However, up until now, I haven't gone for the in-app purchase to unlock the premium features like the Koch trainer. If anyone has unlocked these features, how accessible are they with Voiceover? Are they even worth getting?

Just purchase the app, and I'm enjoying it.

This app works very well with VoiceOver. The developer is also extremely committed to accessibility.

This is a great app if you want to learn Morse code. It also allows you to type anything you’d like & save it as a ringtone.

So, how can you actually learn Morse code. I did try clicking on the methods listed and all I get is a bunch of nonsense. There's no random thing where it will play the letter and then I type it in one tool I use on windows does this.
