# xdemorse(1)

GTK+ Morse Code Decoding Software

## NAME

xdemorse - GTK+ Morse Code Decoding Software

## SYNOPSIS

**xdemorse** \[ *-v* \| *-h* \]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **xdemorse** command.

[**xdemorse**(1)](/xdemorse/1.md) is a X/GTK+ application for decoding Morse code signals into text.

[**xdemorse**(1)](/xdemorse/1.md) detects the "dihs" and "dahs" that make a Morse code character via the computer's sound card, which can be connected to a radio receiver tuned to a CW Morse code transmission or to a tone generator. The input signal is processed by a Goertzel tone detector algorithm which produces "mark" or "space" (signal/no signal) outputs and the resulting stream of Morse code "elements" is decoded into an ASCII character for printing to the Text viewer.

## OPTIONS
