Abstract

Morse code is a process of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones and lights
or clicks. if they use a tapping device recipient can understand the message without additional
decoding equipment. Morse code is represented by the form of dots and dashes. Morse code
used to transmit only numerals at first. After that, Alfred Vail included letters and characters.
Morse code can be transmitted by using electric telegraph wire, light, and sound, through a
different medium in different ways. It is the base for the morse code to transmit or receive.
Morse code is a character encoding and decoding scheme.
Acknowledgement
It gives immense pleasure in bringing out this synopsis of the project entitled “Text to morse
code converter project”. In performing our project, we had to take the help and guideline of
some respected persons, who deserve our greatest gratitude. The completion of this project
gives us much Pleasure. We would like to show our gratitude to our mentor Mrs. Neha Raut
involved in this project and for giving us a good guideline for numerous consultations. We
would also like to expand our deepest gratitude to all those who have directly and indirectly
guided us throughout this journey. Many people, especially our classmates and team members
themselves, have made valuable comment suggestions on this proposal which gave us the
inspiration to improve our project. We thank all the people for their help directly and indirectly
to complete our project
Introduction

Problem Statement & Objectives

SO, in this project we will be creating a simple but highly effective application which helps
to encode and decode secret morse code messages without the need for any tapping device.
This will be a very to use GUI application made in python which can be used to encode
morse code or decode text messages and the user can also listen to the morse by clicking
play sound button

Scope
The scope of this project is to provide an easy-to-use interface for encoding and decoding
secret messages or information. Our application can be used by detectives, long
communication purpose, military, external affairs etc.
Proposed system

Algorithm and Process Design

Python provides a data structure called dictionary which stores information

in the form of key-value pairs which is very convenient for implementing
a cipher such as a Morse code.
We can save the morse code chart in a dictionary where
(key -value pairs) => (English character – morse code).

english_to_morse = {'a': '.-', 'b': '-...', 'c': '-.-.', 'd': '-..',

'e': '.', 'f': '..-.', 'g': '--.', 'h': '....',
'i': '..', 'j': '.---', 'k': '-.-', 'l': '.-..',
'm': '--', 'n': '-.', 'o': '---', 'p': '.--.',
'q': '--.-', 'r': '.-.', 's': '...', 't': '-',
'u': '..--', 'v': '...-', 'w': '.--', 'x': '-..-',
'y': '-.--', 'z': '--..', '1': '.----',
'2': '..---', '3': '...--', '4': '....-', '5': '.....',
'6': '-....', '7': '--...', '8': '---..', '9': '----.',
'0': '-----', ' ':' ', '|':'|', "":"" }

The plaintext (English characters) takes the place of keys and the ciphertext
(Morse code) form the values of the corresponding keys.

The values of keys can be accessed from the dictionary in the same way
we access the values of an array through their index and vice versa.
Encryption (Convert text to morse code)
In the case of encryption, we extract each character from a word one at a time and match it
with its corresponding morse code stored in the dictionary
We then Store the morse code in a variable that will contain our encoded string and then we
add a space to our string that will contain the result.
While encoding in morse code we need to add 1 space between every character and 2
consecutive spaces between every word.
If the character is a space, then add another space to the variable containing the result. We
repeat this process till we traverse the whole string

Decryption
In the case of decryption, we start by adding a space at the end of the string to be decoded
Now we keep extracting characters from the string till we are not getting any space.
As soon as we get a space, we look up the corresponding English language character to the
extracted sequence of characters and add it to a variable that will store the result.
Remember keeping track of the space is the most important part of this decryption process.
As soon as we get 2 consecutive spaces, we will add another space to our variable containing
the decoded string.
The last space at the end of the string will help us identify the last sequence of morse code
characters (since space acts as a check for extracting characters and start decoding them).
