A terminal-based morse code translator written in Python. The translations (in morse-code.txt) were taken from here.

1. Clone the repository in your chosen directory:

   git clone https://github.com/yees7/morse-code-translator

2. Open the directory the repository is in:

   cd morse-code-translator

How to use the translator

Open Git Bash if it isn't already (type bash in command line), then type ./shell.sh to execute the program:

$ ./shell.sh
Which way would you like to translate? (1-3):
1) text_to_morse
2) morse_to_text
3) exit

You will be given three different options. Choose the one you want to use by typing in the designated number.

3) exit
#? 1             # chooses the text_to_morse option
Text to morse selected
text >

text_to_morse option will turn a sentence into a morse code sentence:

text > Hello world!
.... . .-.. .-.. --- /.-- --- .-. .-.. -.. -.-.--

morse_to_text option will turn a morse code sentence into a real sentence:

text > .... . .-.. .-.. --- /.-- --- .-. .-.. -.. -.-.--
HELLO WORLD!

Note: The morse_to_text translator will only return the sentence in fully uppercase letters because there is no support for uppercase and lowercase letters in Morse code.

Tip: Typing nothing will display the list of options again.
