Terms of use

Plain-language terms for a free educational tool.

Using Morse Orbit

Morse Orbit is free to use for personal, educational and non-commercial purposes. No account is required. By using the site you agree to these terms.

Educational use only — not for emergencies

Morse Orbit is not an emergency communication service or certified signalling equipment. Do not rely on it to call for help. In an emergency, contact your local emergency number or use approved distress equipment.

Accuracy

The translator follows Recommendation ITU-R M.1677-1 and is tested, but no software is perfect. The audio-file and image decoders are experimental and can produce wrong results; always review their output.

Flashing and sound

The screen-flash tool produces flashing light. Do not use it if you or anyone nearby may be sensitive to flashing light. Keep audio at a comfortable volume, especially with headphones.

You are responsible for the messages you create and share. Messages and cards you make are yours. Don't use the site to create unlawful or harmful content.

Availability and changes

The site is provided “as is”. Features may change or be removed. These terms may be updated; the current version is always on this page.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Morse Orbit is not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the site or reliance on its output.
