We started looking at Morse Code last class. Morse Code didn't just happen, there was a variety of work that led up to the technology that Morse Code was dependent on.
How did we go from this work to Morse Code? There was still much work to be done before we'd get to Morse Code. Early in the nineteenth century, European experimenters made progress with electrical signaling systems, using a variety of techniques including static electricity and electricity from Voltaic piles producing electrochemical and electromagnetic changes. These experimental designs were precursors to practical telegraphic applications.
Last class, you created a program that encodes clear text into Morse Code.
Now, can you write a program that decodes the Morse Code back into clear text?
Can you specifically utilize the Morse Code from this audio file?
You'll have to transcribe the message first to get the Morse Code.
You won't be able to directly put the .wav file into Python.
Try finding an online tool that'll transcribe the audio for you so you don't waste a bunch of time doing that.
Once you have the audio transcribed into morse, write a Python program that'll decode the Morse to plaintext.
Use the same methods we've been using lately. We'll use more sophisticated methods later, but not yet. Submit a screenshot showing the completed and successful Morse Code decoding program. In your screenshot, make sure that I can see both your Python code, and the result running successfully.
