International Morse Code Translator

Welcome to the International Morse Code Translator by Rick Flores.

This is an interactive application that translates raw morse code into readable text and even speaks it back to you on your computer speakers via the Mac OS X 'say' command. It supports the entire alphabet A-Z, and numbers 0-9. It also supports colorized output via the rainbow gem.
