Learn Morse code the way real operators do — by tapping it out until the rhythm lives in your hands. Most Morse apps just show you a chart and call it a day. MorseTap makes you fluent. A live telegraph key reads your dots and dashes as you press, a Koch-method path ramps your real words-per-minute, and a two-way translator lets you flash any message the moment you type it. You hear the tone, feel the haptic, and see the light — three channels drilling the code into memory at once. WHAT YOU GET - A real telegraph key under your thumb that decodes your keying into letters, live - Instant two-way translation: type text to Morse, or read dots and dashes back to plain words - Broadcast any message as flashlight blinks, audio tone, and haptic pulses at your chosen speed - A Koch-method lesson path that builds you letter by letter from E · T to the full alphabet, numbers, punctuation and prosigns - Timed quizzes that test recall and track your best score - A mastery heatmap, XP levels, and daily streaks so you can watch fluency build PERFECT FOR - Ham and amateur radio operators drilling toward on-air CW speed - Preppers and outdoors people who want SOS and emergency signaling in their hands - Scouts, students, and puzzle fans learning the code for the challenge - Anyone curious about the history of the telegraph WHY NOT JUST USE A CHART? A chart teaches your eyes; it never teaches your ears or your thumb. Real Morse fluency is muscle memory and sound recognition — the exact two things MorseTap drills every session while a static reference table cannot. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device.

Learn Morse code like a game, a few minutes a day, starting from zero. For the fun of it, to hear the Titanic’s calls for help, or to go on the air. Morseway teaches Morse the way operators learned it: by ear, one letter at a time, at real speed. A letter is a rhythm, not a string of dots to count. Characters play fast with stretched gaps at first; the gaps close as you improve. GETTING STARTED • Two letters in the first minute, E and T. • A new letter once the last one holds. • A line of short levels, one to three stars each, at the time you pick, with a days-per-week goal. GETTING BETTER • Every letter has its own mastery; the ones that slip come back more often, and the ones you mix up are drilled together. • Answer by choice or by keyboard. • Send with a straight key or paddles: Morseway reads what you sent and says what to fix. • Character speed, effective speed (Farnsworth) and tone pitch are yours to set. • “See the Morse”: the signal lights up and is felt in the hand, without sound. • Progress per letter and per week, and a local reminder that never leaves your phone. FREE, WITH NO TIME LIMIT • The first 12 letters, level by level. • Words: whole words, read in your head. • The speed run, sending, the keyboard drill and the daily telegram. • A review of the signs you pick, in Progress. • A Morse chart you can hear. • History: Marconi’s path, and the first chapter of every story. MORSEWAY PRO • The rest of the alphabet, the figures 0 to 9, punctuation and prosigns. • The Station without limits: messages, radio contacts, pileups, your fist measured, speed tests beyond 15 words per minute, operating codes and your own lists. • History in full: the Titanic’s last night message by message, Morse’s first and last words, and the Lusitania. One message a day, one radio contact a week and speed tests up to 15 words per minute stay free. YOUR DATA No account. Your progress stays on your phone; export, import or erase it in Settings. Anonymous usage metrics and screen recordings, with every text masked, are on by default; you can turn them off in Settings › Privacy. Morseway Pro: one purchase, yours for good, no subscription. Every future addition included. Terms: https://morseway.com/en/terms Privacy: https://morseway.com/en/privacy
