Questions

How do I write Morse code here?

Use a dot and a dash for each letter, a space between letters and a slash between words. For example, SOS is ... --- ... and two words are split by a / sign.

Which characters are supported?

The letters A to Z, the digits 0 to 9 and the punctuation in International Morse code (ITU-R M.1677-1). Accents are dropped, so é becomes E. Other characters are listed and left out.

How is the playback speed set?

In words per minute, using the standard word PARIS as the length of one word. A dot lasts one unit, a dash three, and the gaps one, three and seven units.
