About Morse Straight Key
TO USE THE KEYBOARD: (a) open main Android settings; (b) select "Language & input"; (c) check box next to "Morse Straight Key"; (d) begin to edit text somewhere; (e) pull down Notification bar, select "Choose input method"; (f) select "Morse Straight Key". On older versions of Android: (e) long-press textbox, select "Input method"; (f) select "Morse Straight Key".
This is a keyboard for your Android device that imitates a straight key, a device commonly used to send Morse Code. The straight key works like a simple switch, allowing the operator to close a circuit, and the length of time that the circuit is closed dictates the duration of the signal: short, producing a dot, or long, producing a dash.
There is only a single "SIGNAL" button which produces a dit when tapped quickly, or a dah when long-pressed, so your timing has to be just right!
Features two modes:
- Practice: tap the SIGNAL button for a dit, long-press for dah. After composing a character, tap the GAP button to "transmit" the character (short gap), or long-press to transmit the character and a space (medium gap).
- Realistic: same as practice mode, but now the system decides what is a dit and what is a dah based on how long you hold down the SIGNAL button. Gaps are inserted automatically between your signals. You can adjust the timing for your own fist in the menu.

Fantastic app!!! More opportunities for practice--and SO much easier to enter text this way than with the typical virtual keyboard. Nevertheless, PLEASE ADD A TOGGLE BUTTON if possible to go back and forth easily, as sometimes the keyboard is a necessary evil. Other than that one request (shared by other reviewers--N.B.!) thank you so much for creating this fine app!!!

I had been looking for a good morse code keyboard on Android for a very long time. I wanted a keyboard that: 1. Has a single key for sending signals 2. Has a return/enter key 3. Has a delete key that can seamlessly handle deleting letters and signals 4. Has customizable signal and gap duration 5. Displays the signals as they are typed This keyboard gave me all of this and so much more. The only things I would add to make it even more amazing are spellchecking and more auto capitalization.

I like the concept of a telegraph-like keyboard, I found that my letter typing speed was too fast for normal mode, but my word typing speed was too slow for expert mode. It would be five stars if I could either set the dash length for normal mode, or disable automatic word spacing only in expert mode.

Didn't even open or show Any app icon or nothing. There better get it fixed or there's gonna be some people that Won even download it anymore. I give this app a -0 Star.

The only reason this app gets 4 stars and not 5 is because it will not do tones while you type. Other than that, it's perfect.

It needs a button to quckly switch to a different keyboard, similar to Hackers keyboard. Otherwise, it is perfect. And yes, I typed this review using Morse code.

Just started to learn morse code so its awesome to be able to use an accurate Representation of actual morse code as a keyboard. I even typed this with the keyboard! Cheers mate!

Good concept and neatly designed, but the signal button could be a little bigger and the gap timing is all screwy. I tinkered with the settings across the spectrum and its still inconsistent with what it considers a gap. I tested by sending "gap." Sending G will give me TN, but then the A and P would run together, unless I left a medium gap. Im gonna look for another option

It would be nice if the keyboard could easily switch between regular and Morse. Now I have to set the Morse keyboard to default then go to settings to set the default back to regular.

This app is the best morse ime yet.

This keyboard is greatly underrated. The only "problem" is that I want to change the length of the dash (dat) to slightly shorter, but I still want to manually space because I can't think that fast, so I don't want to use realistic mode. What I'm asking is to please add a dat timing setting that doesn't require realistic mode. However this app it's still five stars because this is mostly a personal preference, not an issue with the app. (Also the guy who rated one star apparently can't read the description)

Thank you! One of the best morse IMEs. Timing model seems very good, with the independant gap settings being a crucial help. I don't think it needs a timed practice mode---just a bigger medium gap range. A much smaller short gap range would also be nice; trying to set it between 100 and 120 is very tricky. Thanks again!

Having followed the instructions, I would like more time to assess the widget - please disregard my previous review. O K - more time - I typed this using the widget. It's been awhile since I used Morse code and this is good practise, but it's very clear I need to work on my spacing . . . And if there's any doubt, I love this thing ...
