Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Morse Maven.

What is Morse code?

Morse code is a method of encoding text characters as standardized sequences of dots and dashes (or short and long signals) used in telecommunication. It was developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s and 1840s.

Morse Code History

Is Morse code still used today?

How long does it take to learn Morse code?

With consistent practice using Morse Maven, beginners can learn to recognize all characters in about 1-2 months. Developing speed and fluency may take additional practice, but our app guides you through the entire process.
