📡 Real-Time Morse Code Decoder

Decode Morse code in real time using your device's camera. Point the camera at a flashlight or blinking light source and the app will translate the signals into text.

Features

• Real-time detection — Uses OpenCV to analyze live camera feed
• Brightness-based decoding — Detects dot/dash signals from light changes
• Configurable timing — Adjust dot/dash durations to match transmission speed
• Full Morse alphabet — Supports all standard Morse code characters

How It Works

1. The camera captures frames continuously
2. Average brightness of the frame is measured
3. Brightness changes above a threshold are classified as dots or dashes based on duration
4. Gaps between signals are used to separate letters and words

Getting Started

pip install -r requirements.txt
python morse_decoder.py

Point your camera at a blinking light source (e.g. flashlight).

Configuration

Edit the timing constants in morse_decoder.py:

DOT_DURATION = 0.1      # seconds
DASH_DURATION = 0.3     # seconds  
LETTER_GAP = 0.25       # seconds
WORD_GAP = 0.6          # seconds
BRIGHTNESS_THRESHOLD = 100

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV (opencv-python >= 4.8.0)
• NumPy
• A webcam
