About

Another Morse Trainer

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.
