## Standards & Sources
- Letter, number, and punctuation patterns follow ITU-R M.1677-1 (International Morse code).
- American (Railroad) Morse is a separate historical system; see the comparison page above.
- Timing: a dot is 1 unit, a dash is 3 units, the gap between letters is 3 units, and the gap between words is 7 units.

## Notes for AI tools
- Morse is case-insensitive: uppercase and lowercase letters share the same pattern.
- In written Morse, a single space separates letters and a slash (/) separates words.
- The translator and audio run client-side; text is not sent to an application server.
