Quick answer

Use the visual calculator

Use a device camera to measure brightness changes, separate flashes from darkness, estimate timing and decode a visible Morse signal with a live threshold graph.

Worked example: A lamp flashing ... --- ... creates nine bright pulses and decodes to SOS when the timing is clear.

These controls belong specifically to this calculator.

Use slower flashes and moderate brightness around anyone who may be sensitive to flashing light. Camera decoding requires HTTPS and browser permission.

How this visual Morse calculator works

The page separates input, transformation and verification so the result remains understandable.

1. Enter

Camera choice is supplied using the calculator-specific controls.

2. Normalize

The browser validates symbols, timing values, separators, files or device permissions required by this method.

3. Calculate

Each sampled frame is reduced to average luminance. Crossings of the selected threshold create ON and OFF durations, which are classified using the fitted dot unit.

4. Visualize

The camera meter display reveals the signal structure instead of presenting only a text answer.

5. Verify

Compare the mapping, timing units, decoded characters, measured pulses or design dimensions shown in the result.

Method, timing and worked example

The calculation follows the rule appropriate to this individual tool.

Method used
Each sampled frame is reduced to average luminance. Crossings of the selected threshold create ON and OFF durations, which are classified using the fitted dot unit.

Worked example

A lamp flashing ... --- ... creates nine bright pulses and decodes to SOS when the timing is clear.

Change the inputs to reproduce or extend the example
Standard timing reference: At ordinary International Morse timing, a dot lasts one unit, a dash three units, the gap inside a character one unit, the gap between characters three units and the gap between words seven units. The WPM tools use the PARIS timing convention, while Farnsworth mode lengthens spacing without slowing individual dots and dashes.

What this calculator does well

Live camera luminance analysis with a scrolling brightness graph
Adjustable threshold and sampling interval
Pulse-duration reconstruction, Morse classification and WPM estimation

Important limitations

Camera permission and HTTPS are required; auto-exposure and moving scenes can affect brightness.

For camera, microphone, audio and image analysis, signal quality and browser support affect the result. Treat uncertain output as a candidate interpretation and verify it against the source.

Morse Code Light Decoder questions

Answers to common questions about the calculation and visual result.

What does the Morse Code Light Decoder calculate?
Use a device camera to measure brightness changes, separate flashes from darkness, estimate timing and decode a visible Morse signal with a live threshold graph.
Which Morse standard does this tool use?
The calculator uses International Morse code for supported letters, digits, punctuation and common procedural signals. Timing follows the standard one-unit dot, three-unit dash, one-unit element gap, three-unit letter gap and seven-unit word gap unless a dedicated timing control changes spacing.
How should I read the visual result?
Dots appear as short circular or short-duration marks, while dashes appear as longer bars or pulses. The live visual is synchronized with the text result so each transformation can be inspected instead of accepted as an unexplained answer.
Does this calculator upload my message or recording?
Calculations run in the browser. Camera, microphone, audio and image tools process the selected stream or file locally in the page; the plugin does not send those inputs to a calculation server.
What can affect accuracy?
Camera permission and HTTPS are required; auto-exposure and moving scenes can affect brightness.
Can I use the result for practice or design?
Yes. Copy and print controls are included, and tools that create reusable audio, vector, image or stencil output provide a download control. Verify any safety-critical or permanent design before relying on it.
