This is not the same problem. The problem here is to come up with an input method that anyone can use, because anyone can have a watch. With morse only some people had access to equipment and those people spent time training. Everyone else just used handwriting to give the morse engineer a message to translate. Basically a large percentage of the work that computers are used for is to automate the encoding and decoding of messages - automate the morse engineers job.
