Thanks for reporting this issue, there is a bug in translating text into morse code. The engine expects lower-case letters and ignores any upper-case letters. I'll fix it with the next release. In the meantime, try using lower-case letters only.

By the way, I you are compiling kochmorse from the source code, you can build a utility tool to test your text generation file. This may help with writing your own generation rules:

When calling cmake, pass the -DWITH_TEXTGEN=ON option to CMake: E.g.,

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local/ -DWITH_TEXTGEN=ON
make
make install

This will build and install kochmore and textgen for your user only under ~/.local/ You can then run textgen with

textgen YOUR_XML_FILE.xml
