Morse Code IF

Instead of printing “… — …” there could be an option to print “dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot” (and so on) instead.

With the right settings, I would imagine that the commas would pause a screen reader long enough to make it more obvious where the code for each letter ends.

As someone who often needs to don reading glasses, the words would be easier for me to read too.

Oh, that is a solid suggestion. Thank you.

When written or spoken, isn’t it “dit dit dit, dah dah dah, dit dit dit”? Or something like that.

I think so. Either way, having it be an option to be verbalized instead of being beeps or tts reading it as ...dashperiodperiodperiodperioddashperiodperiod... seems prudent.

Good point, especially for anyone using a screen reader.

“Dit” and “dah” are sometimes used to represent the sound, but “dot” and “dash” were the original terms and also work for short and long light flashes.

It is my call sign.

Aviation navigation aids are identified using Morse code audible tones. When flying an aircraft, you have to identify each aid to ensure you are tracking the correct signal. The code is printed on navigation charts so you don’t have to know how to decipher the code. While in flight training many years ago, my instructor admonished me for not verifying the code. When identifying subsequent codes, I just audibleized the letters and numbers for him. I wasn’t gigged for non-verification. :wink:

Hey, that would make a good schtick for an adventure…

I wasn’t asking about this, I was asking if “Most intrigued. I’m in.” should be read in a Yoda-voice. Yoda’s way of saying “I’m most intruiged in your game.” (writing it like this made me realise it’s “intruiged by/with”, not “in”)

As in “One with the Force. I am.”
