Visual Morse code practice with light
When headphones aren’t allowed — or hearing isn’t the channel — use light. Start with the flashlight tool, learn the SOS blink, and keep the translator handy for text. Sound tools remain one click away if you want both.
When to use
Silent practice; demos; accessibility-minded drills; camping-table flashlight play (safely); classrooms where audio isn’t an option.
Better elsewhere
Keep strobes away from people who did not consent; photosensitive users need an obvious Stop. Never signal toward roads or aircraft for fun.
Assumptions
Screen flash is primary; vibration optional; LED torch best-effort. v1 routes to light tools plus the same trainer/listen stack.
Examples
Input
Fullscreen SOS at slow WPM in a dark room
Result
Clear short/long blinks (practice only)
Input
Flash OK · watch letter gaps
Result
Letter gaps should read as letters
Input
Vibration on (where supported)
Result
Feel the schedule without sound
How it works
- Open flashlight with a short message at slow WPM.
- Try the SOS preset for a known rhythm.
- Add audio on the audio translator if you want both channels.
Flashlight message → SOS preset → optional audio twin on audio-translator
Gotchas
- Phone auto-brightness fights you — lock brightness when possible.
- v1 uses the same alphabet stack as audio tools — light is another channel, not a second Koch engine.
- Never signal toward roads or aircraft for fun.
- iOS may limit vibration/torch — screen flash is the reliable path.

When sound isn’t the channel
Headphones banned, hearing isn’t available, or you want a silent demo — start with flashlight, learn the SOS blink, keep the translator for text. Sound twin: audio translator.
What v1 covers
Light tools plus the same learning stack. Screen flash is primary; vibration optional; torch LED best-effort.
Safety
Don’t strobe at people who didn’t consent. Photosensitive users need Stop. Never signal toward roads or aircraft for fun.
