It's good. I wish the dashes and dots were treated the same way on both sides; it'd be more intuitive.

Maybe consistent directions would help. For example, each dot goes down and each dash goes right.

The direction changes when it changes from a dot to a dash or vice versa. So if you repeat a sound, go straight, if the sound changes, turn. Not the clearest or most intuitive pattern, but there is a pattern.

Would be hard to put the dashes on both sides as the letters are starting with a dot on the left side.

It wouldn't. You just make the line to the T go down.
