Morse Code Input
Two taps on the desk is all it takes to send a command
Enter Morse by tapping the device or the desk (recognised by the accelerometer); the screen shows the dot/dash sequence and the decoded character in real time, with a reference chart for common letters. The touch keys can also be used directly.
Recognition uses a double-tap counting scheme: a single tap is a dot, a second tap within 350 ms promotes it to a dash, and a 400 ms hold also counts as a dash; the character gap is 900 ms and the word gap 2700 ms. Thresholds adapt to the noise floor, so a still device produces no false triggers.

Single tap = Dot · Double tap = Dash · Long press 400ms = Dash
Key capabilities
Tap input
Single tap, double tap and long press combine into dots and dashes.
Live decoding
The dot/dash sequence appears as you tap and characters decode immediately.
Reference chart
A chart of common letters stays on screen — no memorisation needed.
Adaptive threshold
Resistant to ambient noise; even light taps register.
Technical specs
Typical scenarios
Sealed-enclosure interaction
