The app has several parts: - Morse Trainer: learn CW one character at a time, copying and sending - Advanced Trainer: once you know your alphabet, work on character groups, words, ham radio abbreviations and callsigns, copying and sending - Morse Decoder: reads your sending back to you - Morse Sender: turns text into CW audio, typed live or by copy and paste - Morse Chat: send and decode CW 1:1 with other ops, multi-user, with your own rooms Note: You can send with the on-screen key or with a connected straight key or paddle. There are several hardware options. The most versatile and accurate is the OpenShack Box from openshack.com, but interfaces that emulate a keyboard, such as VBand and Morserino, work too. LEARN MORSE CODE A complete CW course for beginners in 40 lessons. Set your speed and spacing. Farnsworth spacing gives you more time to copy. PRACTISE YOUR SENDING Send with the on-screen key or a connected key. The app shows how even your characters and spacing are, and where your fist departs from standard timing. YOUR PROGRESS The start screen shows your lesson, your practice time and how solid each learned character is. Review your mistakes and drill the difficult characters.
