How it works

From a word to a ringtone.

  1. Pick the words

    Type a word, or tap SOS or CQ: each letter becomes its Morse code.

  2. Shape the sound

    A clean beep or telegraph clicks, at your speed and pitch.

  3. Repeat and save

    Play it a few times with a pause between, then download the MP3.
