A tool capable of deciphering Morse code signals found within images, or converting images into Morse code representations, enables the automated processing of visual information containing this encoding method. This allows for accessibility of information previously locked within visual mediums for those familiar with, or needing to use, Morse code. An example includes an application that can scan a photograph of a sign written in Morse code and output the translated text.
The capacity to interpret Morse code from visual sources offers significant advantages in contexts requiring rapid information extraction, or where manual transcription is impractical. Historically, Morse code has been used in environments with limited bandwidth or noisy communication channels. This translation capability can be valuable for historical research, emergency communication, or assisting individuals with specific accessibility needs related to visual information.
