Morse Announcer
Morse Announcer for Android

Your notifications, in Morse code.

Morse Announcer tells you who is calling, which app wrote to you and what time it is, by tone, vibration and a scrolling window. A practical tool for radio amateurs and everyone who knows Morse, and daily practice for everyone who is learning it.

You know who wrote without looking at the screen.

What it announces

Every feature has its own switch. Turn on what you need, in the words you choose.

Calls and SMS

Who is calling, by name, initials or the last digits of the number. Repeats while it rings and stops when you answer.

App notifications

Choose the apps and give each a short name, such as WA for WhatsApp and GM for Gmail. Filters decide what is sent.

People

Give the people who matter their own code, like MOM or BOSS, for their calls and their messages in every app.

Quiet conversations

When the same person writes again within a set time, you get only a short signal, or nothing at all.

Hourly chime and reminders

The full hour in 12-hour, 24-hour or military time, at the hours you choose, plus reminders with your own text.

Charger, battery and Wi-Fi

Hear when the charger is connected, the battery is low or full, or Wi-Fi comes and goes. Each event on or off.

Built for learning Morse

5 to 50 words per minute with Farnsworth spacing, your own tone and volume, vibration that feels the same for every dit, and a window that shows each character while it is sent. Type any text on the start screen to practise.

Your own text, with tags

Every announcement is a text you can change. Placeholders fill in the details; tags change how that one announcement sounds. For example <s15><r2>{person} sends the caller's code twice, slowly.

TagEffect
<s25>Speed in words per minute
<f600>Tone in Hz
