I don't know code. Can i connect the headphone jack of my transceiver to my computer USB port and have a program translate the code for me? What programs would be good for this with Windows 10? MICLNONE
You can try, but don't expect great results. A good one to try might be Fldigi or CWGet. They are free, so it's worth a try, just to see how they work. When trying to decode from the radio, the decoding is usually not good enough to handle a full QSO. Contest work may be a little easier.
The real answer is to just learn Morse code. It's like anything else you learn, it just takes time.
Hand sent code is hard for a computer to handle.
Maybe if someone had a lot of time they could design a program to handle Morse sent by hand.
There have been programs to copy hand sent Morse code since the 70's. I would agree that, poorly sent Morse code is difficult for computers and people to handle. But descent hand send morse code is not difficult for a computer to handle. If it is sent well, there really isn't much difference between hand sent and computer sent code.
In fact, one way to tell if you can actually send well is to make a recording of your own sending, and then play it back through a computer. Even the swing that many bug users try to inflict on others, can be copied by a computer. The only time it gets difficult for a computer is when a user really hoses up the spacing. But even with good sending, when the code gets mixed with other signals, noise, fading, etc.. computer copy falls apart.
