Audio learning can be a great brain exercise. This is a Morse Code practice test generator which can generate random 5-letter words, and send them in International Morse Code using your iPhone speaker. The WPM (words per minute) speed can be easily set. You can independently set the dot speed (for the Farnsworth method), and tone frequency. You can also configure the number of possible letters and numbers used, as well as customize the sequence of letters and numbers from which the test words are generated (for training similar to the Koch method). You can either show or hide the test words as they are sent. Other Morse Code applications by HotPaw Productions in the App Store include MorseDecoder, MorseKey, and Text2Morse.

Morse Coach teaches you to recognize Morse code by hearing it at realistic speed—not by looking at a dot-and-dash chart. Begin with two introductory lessons covering K, M, R, and S. Hear each character, identify it immediately, then add send practice gradually by tapping back the rhythm with dots and dashes. Character speed and audio tone are adjustable from the second lesson. Continuing beyond the introduction with the remaining A–Z and 0–9 course, adaptive review, and full progress history requires an auto-renewable in-app subscription. Full-course training introduces characters in small signal groups rather than alphabetical order. After each session, Morse Coach shows which characters need another listen and guides the next practice automatically. There are no points or rankings; a simple day streak supports a consistent practice habit. Requires iOS 17 or later. No account needed; practice works offline after access is verified.
