OT, does anyone know of an app that will decode Morse code that I type in using a single key like the space bar, holding it down long for dah and pressing it quickly for dit? It should figure out the wpm I'm using on its own, like a human would, rather than making me specify it, or at least it should let me select an arbitrary (possibly fractional) wpm rather than offering only a fixed list like 15/20/25.

The "Morse Expert" App available for Android/iOS does a pretty good job of decoding CW 'in the wild'. It can adapt to different sending speeds and does a decent job with non-ideal character/element spacing. The decoding algorithm uses some amount of Bayesian probabilities to decide what the proper decoding of the incoming signal is: http://ag1le.blogspot.com/2013/01/towards-bayesian-morse-decoder.html http://ag1le.blogspot.com/2013/01/towards-bayesian-morse-dec...

  Do you have a link for Morse Expert? It sounds like exactly what I want, but I don’t see any exact name matches when I search for it in Apple’s U.S. App Store.

    My apologies. It appears Morse Expert is Android only, sorry. I tried to do a quick search on my way out the door earlier and was mistaken.

there is a _lot_ of ham radio software that decodes live morse from live sources where where's no clue what speed it'll be coming in at.

  As well as dedicated hardware, to list but two examples: http://www.morserino.info/ http://www.morserino.info/ http://wb7fhc.com/m2-cw-decoder.html http://wb7fhc.com/m2-cw-decoder.html
