## What is Morse Words?

HotPaw Morse Words is a aid to learning Morse Code.  Audio learning can be a great brain exercise.  This app can help you learn the sound of entire words in Morse Code.  The app is a test generator which randomly picks from 250 very common English words and sends them in International Morse Code audio through your iPhone speaker or headset.  The WPM (words per minute) speed can be easily set up to 100 WPM.  You can also separately set the dot speed (for Farnsworth method code), and customize the tone frequency.

Hit "Start" to start sending random Morse code text.  You can choose "Show", to see the words displayed as they are sent to the speaker.  This is helpful when first learning.  After you are familiar with the sound of the words, you can "Hide" the display of the words sent, and attempt to copy them down on paper as your hear them.  Then you can later show them in order to check how many words you copied correctly.

Optionally you can paste a custom word list, from 5 to 500 words in length, using the Settings view.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-10-11*

Help me not only learn Morse Code it helped me interpret it at 30 wpm !

### 4/5 — Leider kann man keine eigene Worte nutzen

*2025-05-25*

Würde gerne Q-Gruppen lernen. Leider ist dies mit diesem Program nicht möglich. Vielleicht würde man sich mal darum kümmern? Danke

### 3/5 — Keine Wortlisten hinterlegt

*2024-11-07*

Die App liefert Morsezeichen, aber man kann den gemorsten Text weder anzeigen, noch eigene Listen erstellen.

Damit sinkt der Gebrauchswert auf Null

### 5/5 — Random word practice works well!

*2024-06-16*

Random word play seems to be helping me practice. I’m happy with this app!

### 5/5 — This is the best app for learning Morse code

*2024-05-04*

First of, the copy function does not work correctly, please just let users type what they wish would be better than copy and paste function the app currently uses. This app has many great features, like setting wpm, volume and tone. The best feature is the wpm which allows user to choose speed all the way up to 50 and down to 5. User can get familiar with each character at slow speed and then experience the high speed sound pattern. It also allows the dot speed wpm, a great feature that no other similar apps ever offer. One improvement I would like to propose would be to add a function or button called “repeat” or “loop”, with which the will repeat or loop indefinitely the character string user entered so that user can listen as long as wishes, to allow user to live in the Morse sound world as long as he/she likes and wishes. Best, David

### 4/5 — No content displayed

*2024-02-12, version 2.2.3*

No content is displayed in the text box. The app is great otherwise. Please patch the bug.

### 3/5 — Not fully there

*2023-09-19*

At only 10 WPM, an initial dit simply doesn’t happen. Initial dahs sound like dits, so a lot of the words don’t make sense. It’s as if the audio channel is closed between words, and not opened in time for the first symbol.

### 5/5 — Kleines Programm, dass wirklich Spaß macht!

*2022-06-17*

Für denjenigen, der die Zeichen einigermaßen beherrscht, ist es ein schönes Tool, um bei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten mal kurz reinzuhören und in Gedanken mitzulesen. Schön ist auch, dass zum individuellen weiterführenden Training eigene Wortdateien erstellt werden können. Dank an die Entwickler!

### 5/5 — 聴き取り練習に好適！

*2022-01-23*

隙間時間を有効利用できるアプリです。自分のレベルより少し早めの速度で聴き取り練習をすることによって、ちょっとずつですが聴き取れる符号も増えてきて、レベルアップを実感できています。
