Aprende código Morse de oído, no de una tabla. MorseTrainer usa el método Koch: empiezas con dos letras a velocidad final y solo aparece una nueva cuando reconoces las anteriores sin dudar. POR QUÉ SUENA RÁPIDO DESDE EL PRIMER DÍA Los caracteres van siempre a 18–25 palabras por minuto y lo que se alarga es el silencio entre ellos. Se llama temporización Farnsworth y existe por un motivo: si las letras sonaran despacio aprenderías a contar elementos, y ese hábito cuesta meses de quitar. Escuchándolas rápidas desde el principio aprendes el ritmo. SE ADAPTA A TUS FALLOS Si confundes la S con la H, las dos empiezan a aparecer más y juntas: contrastarlas es la única forma de deshacer una confusión. El teclado de respuesta tampoco es aleatorio — los distractores salen de los caracteres que tú ya confundes, para que no puedas aprobar por descarte. CINCO MODOS • Campaña: 30 niveles, de dos letras al alfabeto completo y los números. • Práctica libre: repaso sin corazones ni prisa. • Palabras: rondas de diez palabras que transmites letra a letra. • Contrarreloj: 60 segundos, tantas letras como puedas. • Supervivencia: la velocidad sube hasta que se acaban los corazones. OÍDO, TACTO Y VISTA Cada señal suena, se siente en el Taptic Engine y puede salir por la linterna. Los tres canales funcionan a la vez y se encienden por separado: puedes jugar en silencio, o sin sonido si no oyes. El tono se ajusta entre 440 y 800 Hz por si tienes pérdida auditiva en alguna frecuencia. TAMBIÉN TRANSMITES No solo reconoces letras: las envías con un manipulador telegráfico en pantalla. Toque corto para punto, mantener para raya. El umbral entre uno y otro se calibra solo con tu propio pulso. GANA COBRE Al superar niveles ganas cobre, que se gasta en temas visuales y bancos de sonido. No es una moneda que se compre: solo se juega. SIN LETRA PEQUEÑA Sin anuncios. Sin compras dentro de la app. Sin cuenta. Sin conexión: funciona en modo avión. No recoge ningún dato — tu progreso se queda en tu iPhone y no sale de él.
