Read full description

Morse Trainer QT is a structured Morse code (CW) listening and copy trainer for beginners and operators strengthening their reception. Build direct sound-to-character recognition without first translating signals into dots and dashes. Koch-style progression introduces patterns gradually; Farnsworth spacing preserves character rhythm while adjusting the overall pace. STRUCTURED BEGINNER COURSE β€’ One introduction explains the method before scored practice. β€’ 41 guided lessons start with K and M, then add A–Z, 0–9, period, comma, question mark, hyphen, slash, and equals sign. β€’ Learned characters remain active for cumulative recognition. β€’ Each lesson includes a preview, single-character practice, immediate feedback, replay, error review, and detailed results. β€’ Every lesson also provides Group Copy: 10 groups of 5 characters for continuous reception. β€’ Passing requires 90% accuracy. Lessons and required Group Copy tasks advance the chapter path. β€’ Switch the keyboard between lesson characters only and the full layout. β€’ The course map clearly shows lesson status and chapter or premium locks. Gradual load, active recall, immediate correction, and the move from isolated characters to continuous copy form one learning path. Separate character and effective speeds preserve signal shape while allowing more response time. FOCUSED PRACTICE Custom Copy β€’ Choose the course pool, letters, digits, punctuation, letters plus digits, or your own set. β€’ Configure 1–1,000 five-character groups and both speeds independently. β€’ Choose Current Characters or the full keyboard, with full playback controls and answer review. Weak Character Drill β€’ Uses recent errors to target weak characters, mixed with part of the current pool; groups and speeds remain configurable. Confusion Pair Drill β€’ Trains one to three similar-sounding pairs with the same group and speed controls. Cumulative Review β€’ Samples evenly from learned characters without introducing new material. Lesson Group Copy β€’ Provides a continuous-copy task for every lesson, with correct text, input, error positions, accuracy, and best result. β€’ Completing required tasks unlocks the next chapter. Callsign Copy β€’ Build sessions from the full callsign library; set count, repeats, and both speeds. β€’ A dedicated screen and letters/digits/slash keyboard lead to character-level review. Digits and punctuation can also be trained separately through Custom Copy presets. MORSE REFERENCE AND STATISTICS Browse letters, digits, and punctuation by category, and tap any item to hear its Morse sound. Statistics cover streak, sessions, time, today/week/month views, practice days, accuracy, correct characters, lesson and symbol progress, recent weaknesses, and mode-by-mode totals. SETTINGS AND DEVICES β€’ Separate character and effective speed controls; full unlock supports up to 60 WPM. β€’ Tone adjustable from 300–1,200 Hz and configurable start delay. β€’ Restore default settings or reset learning progress separately. β€’ Adaptive iPhone and iPad layouts, with light and dark appearance. β€’ Interface in 12 languages, including right-to-left support for Arabic. ICLOUD SYNC Sync course progress, streak, and the latest 2,000 completed sessions through one iCloud account. Every completed practice starts background sync; offline changes remain local and retry automatically. Settings includes status and manual sync. No separate app account is required. Synced learning data is stored in the user’s private iCloud database. FREE ACCESS AND FULL UNLOCK Try the introduction and Lessons 1–7. One non-consumable purchase unlocks Lessons 8–41, the full callsign library, higher speeds, expanded pools, and remaining content. This is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Restore Purchases is included.

Every inch of the screen is your straight key. Press anywhere to send β€” it lights up and plays a sidetone. RECEIVE β€” the Koch method with Farnsworth timing. Start with two characters at real-world speed (15-25 WPM) and unlock the next at 90% accuracy, through 40 levels. The answer pad shows only the characters you have learned, so there is nothing to second-guess. SEND β€” real-time decoding with automatic dit/dah calibration. Watch yourself descend the Morse code tree with every keypress: hold for left, tap for right, with dot and dash waypoints always showing where the next press leads. Targets grow from single letters to common CW abbreviations and callsigns. CHART β€” the full alphabet, numbers and punctuation. Tap any row to hear it at your configured speed and tone. SETTINGS β€” character speed 15-25 WPM, effective (Farnsworth) speed 5-15 WPM, sidetone 400-1000 Hz, key haptics. Volume follows the silent switch. PRICING β€” all training features are free, with no ads. A one-time Pro (Supporter Pack) purchase adds alternate app icons, theme colors and a 30-day progress chart. Everything stays on your device β€” no account, no tracking, fully offline.
