Morse International Code

Morse International Code translation and audio output

MORSE: International Morse Code

morse.m

This function written in GNU Octave/Matlab language, translates a text into Morse code, as dot and dash string, binary vector or sound audio file. Giving a Morse code string as input, it translates back to the original text.

Examples:

> morse('SOS')
... --- ...
> s=morse('.-- .... .- -   .... .- - ....   --. --- -..   .-- .-. --- ..- --. .... - ..--..')
WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?
> morse('What Hath God Wrought?','audio')

The last command will play this sound:

morse1844.mp4

which is the very first message sent by inventor Samuel F.B. Morse on May 24, 1844, over an experimental line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore.

Type doc morse or help morse for syntax and options.
