The code behind the translator portion of this webpage was originally conceived as a Command-Line-Interface program early in my coding learning journey. I felt the code would be more useful as a webpage, and after some research settled on a simple static webpage using PyScript to run the Python code.
After forking and cloning this repository, you may access a locally-hosted version of the site by running terminal command python3 -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 9000 in the project's root directory (~/pyscript-MorseTranslator). Navigate in your browser to 127.0.0.1:9000 to access the page.
Near the top of the webpage there is a large text-entry box that allows entry of english letters (for English-to-Morse), or hyphens and periods (for Morse-to-English).
Please Note: The input only accepts hyphens (-) as dashes, and periods (.) as dots at this time.
Please Note: spaces, as well as Morse Code for numbers and punctuation are allowed.
- Type or copy-paste the string of morse code or English you wish to convert to English into the aforementioned text-entry box.
