Morse Talk for Android
Note for all samsung users click and hold the multi screen button on the lower left corner and then click chat mode
sometimes when recording lamp on my screen it gives me weird text
I wasn't able to open the camera scanner.
Still cannot access the decoding features on Galaxy S7. The app menu is accessed via the recent apps key, but I cannot modify the key without rooting my phone. --EDIT: I just randomly tried holding the back button instead, which gave me access to the menu.
This app will not allow you to decode Morse code signals with a Galaxy Note 5, as well as several other phone models. Lots of complaints here about this. It will allow me to transmit morse code, but it won't let me translate Morse code by using my camera. It's just a black screen with a single "Enter Message" field.
I used this for a BF4 easter egg. The app doesn't seem to be able to focus on my Galaxy s6. So the light source was blurry and out of focus. This caused numerous translation errors. Also the app would be improved if I didn't use the cameras built in auto exposure. As the light source was changed from off to on, the camera would try to compensate. Would work much better worth a single exposure calc at the start.
Doesn't work on LG3 phones. Was gonna use this app to figure out my Easter egg morse code for BF4 and i only get to see text to morse code option. No camera option at all.
I really love idea but only works on my Samsung s5 to send screen option only. Unable to use flash or receive with camera as described.
Good fun for camping and actually could save someone. One request, add a speed setting... it needs to go up to at least 25 wpm IMHO. Thanks!
I'm just simply trying to do the dice la Easter egg and use a simple app but what do you know? The flash doesn't even work. It just flashes a white screen and there is no chat or whatever the hell people are talking about. I'd rather have you guys say it's not compatible with my phone. I've never seen ANYTHING like this. Seriously what the hell guys.
Hey! It works.... but initially had the same problem of other users: Only the black screen for text and no options to change for reading. To make it work: Go to SETTINGS on your phone and look for SCREENSHOT. Then in Hot Key Settings TURN OFF "Tap and hold the recent apps Key to take a screenshot". Done! Go to the app and press the Recent App button for a couple of seconds and will appear 3 options: CHAT Mode Settings About Press CHAT MODE and therre we go, we can use it. Hope it helps!
Used it to decode messages from Battlefield 4. The camera for the light decipher is low frame rate and pixely, so it sometimes can miss read things.
This app works wonderfully , it helped me receiving message from the morse sent by battlefield 4 through Easter egg hunt and it got solved in lighting fast speed with very accurate results for me and my Friends
Crashes when backing out of chat mode frequently. Could use on-screen buttons to switch modes and access settings faster.
Rubbish
Can't access settings to change to chat-mode. All I get is a text line and the button to start transmitting.
Samsung note 5 just had to hold back button to get the receive menu up
Works great between our two phones. Slower phone can sometimes have a problem decoding, but mostly works.
I do no see any options on galaxy s6 to use chat mode to read a message. All I get is type in a message, and then the screen blinks.
Thumbs up if the Battlefield 4 easter egg hunt led you here.
For those of you who say only the send mode works, HOLD DOWN your back button or whichever activates quick settings for your phone type! Then select chat! Wallah, now you can read morse code if you're steady enough. Messages on bottom btw
Should be able to read Morse code from light source, there is no option to read it, seen somewhere else that you need to adjust screenshots setting to get it to work, but never found any setting, as far as this is go's, not worth installing on any Samsung device, and from what I seen note worth it on any other as well
All I get is a text to code option. No visual morse translation option. Useless.
Just a black screen with a box to enter text, and a button to turn to flashing LCD. Useful but 1/5 for false advertising.
To use chat mode you have to press the task button about 3 seconds. Then a menu will appear in the bottom of the screen. Fonctions are limited and I think the size of the app (5.64MB) was too large for those applications. After, this app have access to all your files, so please pay attention.

Didn't work. using Samsung galaxy S5 no option to recieve via camera as described
Works perfectly to complete the BF4 easter egg to get the Dice LA camo
Can you somehow add an options button. i dont have it on my lg optimus f60 so i cant switch to the video part
Does not fully work with Note5, send only option.
Works quite well. I would like to see an IOS version. Also somewhere to adjust wpm would be good (the speed that the morse is transmitted/received)
sometimes when recording lamp on my screen it gives me weird text
Please add an options button to the UI for phones that do not have a physical options button, so that we can select the camera and other features.
Yep bf4 easter egg led me here too
Worked great in BF4 easter egg, the 0 were . when it encrypted it but thats about it.
Cool Idea
Great idea, and the dev is adding the suggestions well, so coming along nicely. One thing maybe to add when the chance is there; self-detection. If picking up its own flashes with high incidence; maybe it can warn the user that the users own light is interfering with the message, and they should aim the light more carefully? Also, if it's possible, can there be option to turn off camera auto-white balance? I think this makes the camera slow? Maybe white balance can be adjusted manually?
It's pretty cool and all, but I can't seem to access the other options on my Core II. Any help?
This works good on my Acer Iconia Tab A100. Kudos to Sungho for such a simple to use and effective free app!!!
