Morse Trainer QT vs Dot Dash

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 • One introduction explains the method before scored practice. • 41 guided lessons start with K and M, then add A–Z, 0–9, period, comma, question mark, hyphen, slash, and equals sign. • Learned characters remain active for cumulative recognition. • Each lesson includes a preview, single-character practice, immediate feedback, replay, error review, and detailed results. • Every lesson also provides Group Copy: 10 groups of 5 characters for continuous reception. • Passing requires 90% accuracy. Lessons and required Group Copy tasks advance the chapter path. • Switch the keyboard between lesson characters only and the full layout. • 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 • Choose the course pool, letters, digits, punctuation, letters plus digits, or your own set. • Configure 1–1,000 five-character groups and both speeds independently. • Choose Current Characters or the full keyboard, with full playback controls and answer review. Weak Character Drill • Uses recent errors to target weak characters, mixed with part of the current pool; groups and speeds remain configurable. Confusion Pair Drill • Trains one to three similar-sounding pairs with the same group and speed controls. Cumulative Review • Samples evenly from learned characters without introducing new material. Lesson Group Copy • Provides a continuous-copy task for every lesson, with correct text, input, error positions, accuracy, and best result. • Completing required tasks unlocks the next chapter. Callsign Copy • Build sessions from the full callsign library; set count, repeats, and both speeds. • 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 • Separate character and effective speed controls; full unlock supports up to 60 WPM. • Tone adjustable from 300–1,200 Hz and configurable start delay. • Restore default settings or reset learning progress separately. • Adaptive iPhone and iPad layouts, with light and dark appearance. • 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.

Every letter has a rhythm. Dot Dash helps you learn Morse code the way operators always have: by ear, by touch, by repetition. The practice surface is a brass telegraph key from the 1920s, drawn to work like the real thing. Tap it for a dot. Hold it for a dash. It clicks under your thumb, and on iPhones that support it you feel the rhythm as haptics too. A short walkthrough shows you dots and dashes the first time you open the app, and then you choose a tier and go: Easy, for listening. Ten common letters with their patterns always visible. Perfect for your first session. Medium, for learning. The full alphabet. Patterns fade as you tap, so your memory does the work. Hard, for remembering. Letters and numbers, by sound and feel alone. You are hearing the rhythm now. Three speed presets change the room between the marks inside each letter, so a new learner has time to think while every letter keeps its real shape. A full reference chart is one tap away, and tapping any letter plays its rhythm out loud. When a session ends you get a recap in plain English, plus a short quote from the history of telegraphy. Every quote is real, sourced, and public domain. Send a telegram. Pick one of a hundred short phrases, from GOOD MORNING to GOOSE ON THE LOOSE, and Dot Dash paints it in Morse above a brass key, ready to share or save. No typing, nothing stored. The Operator's Pack, if you want more. A one-time purchase adds callsign drills: hear a whole call sign at 5, 13 or 20 words per minute with true Farnsworth spacing, then key it back one letter at a time. It also adds four more app icons and seventeen more sounds for the key. Sixty percent of what is left after costs from every Operator's Pack is committed to CommunicationFIRST, a civil rights organization for people who cannot rely on speech alone to be heard and understood, and every tenth purchase commits the whole remainder. Quarterly receipts: sillydroose.com/donations/dotdash. No scores. No timers. No streaks. Nothing to keep up with. Just you and the pattern. Dot Dash works entirely offline and collects nothing. I built it because Morse is a small, beautiful skill, and learning it should feel like tapping out messages by lamplight, not grinding a curriculum. The practice is free, and it stays free. No ads. No data collected. Ever.
