Dit teaches Morse code by ear, not by eye. There's no need to memorize a dot-and-dash chart. You hear each character as a sound and tap it back. Characters play at real speed from the start. If they played slowly enough to count individual dots and dashes, you'd do exactly that, and then you'd be stuck translating forever instead of just hearing the letter. The spacing between letters starts generous and tightens as you improve. Choose how you practice: - Practice walks you through small groups of letters and advances when you're ready. - Freestyle lets you tap whatever you want and see what it decodes to. - Listen trains recognition of characters, common English words, and Q codes. You can also play your own text and optionally type along to check your copy. - Conversation lets you practice a simulated CW contact with an AI operator. Hear the other station, then key your reply, including continuous prosigns. Practice and Freestyle also support external Morse paddles through VBand-compatible adapters. For example, you can use a Bencher BY-1 iambic paddle with a compatible USB=C adapter. Connect your adapter to your iPhone or iPad, open Practice or Freestyle, and use the left paddle for dits and the right for dahs. Letter practice notices which characters trip you up and brings them back more often. Review Misses drills your weak spots. Dit tracks how quickly you recognize each character, so you can tell where you're sharp versus where you're still guessing. Letters are introduced in small packs that let you build common words and radio abbreviations. Track your progress in the app and with Home Screen or Lock Screen widgets. Core practice works offline. Progress saves on your device. Sign in to sync across devices if you want, but you don't have to. Conversation mode requires an internet connection. Before each contact, you choose whether to send your keyed messages and conversation history to Google Gemini to generate replies. Typed reception copy stays on your device.

Learn to copy Morse code (CW) by ear, the way real operators do. Another Morse Trainer teaches you with the proven Koch method: it starts with two characters and adds the next one only when you're ready, building real instant recognition instead of counting dots and dashes. MANY WAYS TO TRAIN Learn the characters • Journey: a leveled path from letters through punctuation, prosigns, Q-codes, abbreviations and words to call signs, with an unlock map and saved progress. • Characters: the Koch-method ladder through A-Z and 0-9. • Confusion Drill: targeted reps on the exact pairs you keep mixing up. Copy real content • Common Words: copy whole ham-radio words at speed, or bring your own list. • Abbreviations and Q-Codes: the CW shorthand you'll hear on the air. • Prosigns: run-together signals like AR and SK. • Short Stories: 32 bundled fables, longer classics with a bookmark, or today's real news headlines, hidden until you decode them. Build speed • Head Copy: hold a whole word in your head, then grade your own recall. • Type It: free recall with no multiple choice to lean on. • QRQ Speed: high-speed copy at 35, 40, 50 or 60 WPM. • Rapid Fire: call signs, words, number groups or states sent back to back. • Daily Dit: one five-letter word a day, the same for everyone. Guess it from the code; every replay or miss slows the code down until you catch it. Play • Six arcade games that train by ear: Morse Invaders, CW Galaga, Morse Defender, CW Dungeon, CW Frogger and CW Asteroids. Every hit and miss feeds your stats. Get on the air • Pileup Runner: call CQ and pull callsigns out of a simulated pileup, with QSB, QRN, cut numbers, busted calls and a live log. • Contest: timed runs of five real weekly CW events (K1USN SST, ICWC MST, CWops CWT, NCCC Sprint, ARRL Field Day) with a live score and scorecard. • Code Exam: the classic FCC/ARRL-style copy test at 5, 13 or 20 WPM. • Repeater: live CW with real operators over the Vail network. Send, decode and look up • Sending Practice: key it back on a touch key or a hardware MIDI key, with live decode of what you actually sent. • Sending Drills: printable practice sheets built from what you've studied. • CW Decoder: point the microphone at a rig or a WebSDR and read received Morse as text. • Reference: a tap-to-hear chart of prosigns, Q-codes, abbreviations, ham lingo and cut numbers. • Listen & Learn: hands-free, eyes-free practice: hear the code, then the answer spoken aloud. Keeps playing with the screen locked. BUILT FOR REAL PRACTICE • Character speed up to 60 WPM, Farnsworth spacing and sidetone pitch. • Answer by tapping, typing, speaking or keying it back. • Hardware key support: USB and Bluetooth LE MIDI keys, plus full Vail Adapter input and output. • A quiet background noise floor so Bluetooth earbuds don't sleep through the first character; turn it up and it doubles as band noise. • A daily practice reminder to keep your streak alive, and a buddy streak: pair with one friend and keep a streak of days you both practised. • Optional shared leaderboard, off by default, for Rapid Fire, Contest, Pileup Runner and the games. • Progress tracking: streak, accuracy, fastest copy, most-confused pairs, performance by speed band and a per-character recognition-speed chart. • Runs on iPhone and iPad. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device unless you turn the leaderboard on.
