MorseBook turns your iPhone into a complete Morse trainer: a CW reference you can hear, a straight key you can send on, copy drills that keep you honest, and a coach for the moments a rhythm refuses to stick. Every entry plays real ITU-timed audio - dits, dahs, and proper spacing at your speed. Read each rhythm the way operators voice it (di-DAH for A, DAH-di-di-dit for B), then press the straight key and watch your own sending decoded live on screen. WHAT IS INCLUDED - Complete reference: A-Z, 0-9, punctuation, prosigns (SOS, AR, SK), and classic signals (CQ, QRZ, 73) - Audio playback for every entry with adjustable speed (5-30 WPM) and sidetone pitch - Straight-key practice pad that decodes your keying as you send - Encode and decode drills with reveal-when-ready answers - Per-entry mnemonics, timing breakdowns, confusion pairs, and operating history - Ask the Morse coach about rhythm, confusion pairs, and practice plans - Personal practice log to keep notes between sessions - No login, no invite code, no external account required FREE AND PRO The free app includes the full codebook with audio, the straight key, practice drills, the practice log, and 3 coach asks per day. MorseBook Pro monthly and yearly subscriptions unlock unlimited coach help and unlimited practice notes.

Every inch of the screen is your straight key. Press anywhere to send โ it lights up and plays a sidetone. RECEIVE โ 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 โ 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 โ the full alphabet, numbers and punctuation. Tap any row to hear it at your configured speed and tone. SETTINGS โ character speed 15-25 WPM, effective (Farnsworth) speed 5-15 WPM, sidetone 400-1000 Hz, key haptics. Volume follows the silent switch.
