HapticCommunicator

HapticCommunicator is an iOS app for communicating using Morse code through haptic feedback. The project is written in SwiftUI and follows a simple MVVM structure.

Main Screens

• User – full-screen tap area for entering Morse or holding to dictate speech. Swipe up to convert the Morse input to text, or swipe right to insert a space. Speech input is converted to Morse and vibrated for the caregiver.
• Caregiver – type text, convert it to Morse code and hand the device to the user so the message can be played back as vibration.
• Settings – pick haptic speed, preview the selected speed and toggle beep and speech sounds.

Switch between these views using the top tab bar in HomeView.

Onboarding

The first time you launch the app, an interactive walkthrough explains the main screens. If you'd like to view it again later, open Settings and tap Show Walkthrough Again.

2. In User mode:

   • Swipe up to decode the current sequence.
