Morse Typing Trainer

Morse Typing Trainer gives beginners a game-shaped route into Morse input for Gboard. It comes from an accessibility project led with developer Tania Finlayson, although the current page warns that some browsers and devices are unsupported.

What is Morse Typing Trainer?

This compact lesson sits between a reference chart and a typing game. Its purpose is practical: help a newcomer turn dot-and-dash patterns into letters they can use with Gboard's Morse keyboard. That connection to an actual communication tool gives the cheerful exercise more weight than a novelty decoder. The page also keeps an About panel close at hand, so the accessible-communication origin is part of the experience rather than a footnote.

What you can do there

• Learn Morse letter patterns with dot-and-dash input

Why we picked it

A two-symbol alphabet is a lovely fit for the web: tiny controls, immediate patterns, and a surprisingly large expressive payoff. Better still, this trainer grew from lived expertise and points toward a real alternative input method, not just a telegraph-themed diversion.

How to get the most from it

Open it in Chrome on a supported device, keep a phone in portrait orientation if prompted, and work through the letter patterns at a steady pace. Setting up Gboard's Morse layout first gives the lesson an obvious place to land.

Good to know

This is an older open-source experiment, and its repository explicitly says it is not an officially supported Google product. Browser and device fallbacks are visible on the current page; audio, switch access, touch behavior, and the full lesson flow were not verified here.

Who made it, and when?
