Cadenza vs MorseCAT

Cadenza teaches Morse code the way real operators actually read it: by ear. You start with just two letters at full speed and add more as you go, so you learn the sound and rhythm of each character instead of counting dots and dashes. Built on the proven Koch method with Farnsworth spacing, Cadenza adapts to you. It notices which characters you confuse, drills the exact pairs you mix up, and raises your speed only when you are ready. WHAT YOU GET - Letters trainer: the full alphabet, numbers and punctuation, one character at a time - Reference: tap any letter, prosign, Q-code or abbreviation to hear it - Tools: Listen, a decoder that turns clean Morse tones into text through your mic, a two-way Morse code translator (text to Morse and back, played as sound, screen light, camera flash or vibration) and an accessible Morse keyboard - Postcard: turn a short message into a Morse card, drawn as a rhythm score and sent as a picture with a link. Your friend hears it and decodes it in Cadenza - Progress: streaks, a daily goal, achievements, accuracy heatmaps and a daily challenge that is the same for everyone - Three channels: hear it, see it (a gentle beacon or your camera flash), feel it through vibration GO FURTHER WITH PRO - Copy whole words, random groups and full lines of text - Your lists: drill your own words, callsigns and contest exchanges; the QSO simulator answers your own callsign - Head copy with no typing - Sending practice with an on-screen key, or plug in your own straight key or paddle through a USB or Bluetooth adapter (VBand, Vail); Cadenza does the iambic keying - Realistic on-air modes: callsign trainer, QSO simulator and pile-up - Detailed analytics: confusion matrix and reaction time WHY CADENZA No accounts.

Learn Morse code the way high-speed operators actually hear it: as sounds, not dots and dashes. MorseCAT is an Instant Character Recognition (ICR) trainer. Every character is sent at real speed from day one — you never count elements, you learn the sound. Then you answer the way an operator would: key it back. LEARNING IS FREE. FOREVER. • The full guided path — every letter, number, and prosign, in the proven CW Academy order • Listen & Learn — hear each character introduced as pure sound • Listen & Say — say the character out loud and MorseCAT grades you by ear • Free Practice — your speed, your character set, whenever • Word Patterns and weekly LICW class groups — drill exactly what your class covers • Progress that means something: a per-character mastery heatmap, recognition-time tracking, a copy-ceiling benchmark, streaks, and a proficiency rank ANSWER LIKE AN OPERATOR Hear a character, key it back. Use the on-screen straight key, the touch paddle, or plug in real hardware — Bluetooth MIDI keyers and paddles (TinyMIDI, HaliKey, VBand-style interfaces) take over automatically the moment they connect. Motor memory in, guesswork out. REAL SPEED, HONEST NUMBERS Characters always sound at your character speed (default 32 wpm, floor 25) — fast enough that there's no time to count elements, which is the whole point. Difficulty comes from closing the gaps, Farnsworth-style, never from slowing the code down. MorseCAT measures your time-to-recognize on every single character, so you always know which ones are instant and which ones still make you think. MORSECAT PRO — ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER A single one-time unlock (no subscription, ever) opens the arcade and the airwaves: • Key Invaders — read the falling words, shoot them by keying them • Ice Dash — an arcade sprint for your sending hand • The full QSO simulator — realistic contest and club exchanges: SST, POTA hunting, CWT, SKCC, and LICW scenarios, with band noise and fading if you want it • Advanced push drills — the Miss Drill and Send Sprint Code Invaders, single-caller QSOs (5 a day), and every learning tool stay free — and the whole arcade opens free for ten minutes every day, so you can try it before you decide. NO NONSENSE • No account. No ads. No tracking. • Works offline — practice on a plane, in a park, anywhere • Your progress lives on your phone, nowhere else Whether you're prepping for your first POTA hunt, keeping up with your LICW class, or chasing 40 wpm head-copy, MorseCAT meets your ear where it is and pushes it — one instantly-recognized character at a time. 73, and happy keying.
