The answer lies in the definition of Morse Code.

I developed this as a
practice which helped me learn the code, and now tapping whole
sentences is quite easy.

Morse code is constructed from DIT and DAH. Their definition can be
re-interpreted in the form of taps.

. DIT: one dot/1 tap, makes sound: Tak (use one finger)

_ DAH: DIT x 3 / 3 quick taps, makes sound: Trrrk (use three/all four
fingers for convenience)

By definition the duration of the DAH should be three times of DIT.


Therefore if you fasten your tap tempo you can represent DAH with
three very quick taps (sounding like “trrrk”). Sometimes I use all four
fingers to make the “trrrk” sound. The duration of this sound is much
shorter than three consecutive DITs. Lets take few examples,

Letter A: DIT DAH

Taps: Tap <pause> TapTapTap (sounds like: Tak Trrrk)

Letter I: DIT DIT

Taps: Tap <pause> Tap (sounds like: tak tak)

Word SOS: DIT DIT DIT DAH DAH DAH DIT DIT DIT

Taps: Tap <pause> Tap <pause>


Tap <pause><pause><pause> TapTapTap <pause> TapTapTap
<pause> TapTapTap <pause><pause><pause> Tap <pause> Tap
<pause> Tap.

sounds: Tak Tak Tak…….Trrrk Trrrk Trrrk…….Tak Tak Tak

Note: there is three unit <pause> between letters and seven unit
<pause> between words.
