Why Morse Code?

Morse code … has become an efficient tool for people that struggle with communication. Tania Finlayson struggled with communication for most of her life due to cerebral palsy. ~ Anthony

Recently Google added the ability to type in Morse code, which to most seems like more of a gimmick rather than a feature. However, to a person with cerebral palsy or others who have trouble keeping their hands steady, using Morse code must be more convenient to use since there are only two buttons to press. ~ Randy

This system may be effective for those with issues in either speaking or typing. Tania Finlayson, an assistive tech developer with cerebral palsy, is a major beneficiary of this app because it has allowed her to communicate. ~ Ayush

Morse code seems inefficient in the sense that a majority of the population do not understand it. 

Finlayson was born with cerebral palsy, which made it difficult for her to talk with others. ~ Catherine

Morse code allows people with speech disabilities to communicate faster than just using a standard keyboard. ~ Huy

The target audience for this app are people who are not able to talk. ~ Brian

Tania’s life was really hard because she has a head stick to point until she got two switches near her head that help her to communicate with other people. ~ Dat

The invention is important because it translates Morse code and speaks out the words aloud in English, giving the user a voice of their own. It allows people with limited mobility to operate a cell phone. ~ Jaiya

This app’s target audience is people who cannot speak and have poor motor skills. It removes communication as a burden for those with cerebral palsy or similar conditions. ~ David
