This app provides a keyboard with letters replaced by their International Code of Signals equivalents. This app will help you learn the flags very quickly, because they are arranged in the familiar QWERTY layout.

You can also choose to overlay the letters onto the flags if you need help getting started.

To add realism, messages are assembled from the flags and then "hoisted".

All letters are based on the International Code of Signals:
