Morse Words

I have used this app for almost 2 years. It has taken me from less than five words per minute up to 18 words per minute. I've used it for 20 minutes every day. Sincere thanks to the developer. VK3FLAK.

Random word play seems to be helping me practice. I’m happy with this app!

First of, the copy function does not work correctly, please just let users type what they wish would be better than copy and paste function the app currently uses. This app has many great features, like setting wpm, volume and tone. The best feature is the wpm which allows user to choose speed all the way up to 50 and down to 5. User can get familiar with each character at slow speed and then experience the high speed sound pattern. It also allows the dot speed wpm, a great feature that no other similar apps ever offer. One improvement I would like to propose would be to add a function or button called “repeat” or “loop”, with which the will repeat or loop indefinitely the character string user entered so that user can listen as long as wishes, to allow user to live in the Morse sound world as long as he/she likes and wishes. Best, David

No content is displayed in the text box. The app is great otherwise. Please patch the bug.

At only 10 WPM, an initial dit simply doesn’t happen. Initial dahs sound like dits, so a lot of the words don’t make sense. It’s as if the audio channel is closed between words, and not opened in time for the first symbol.

For practicing higher speeds this program is perfect. Gives you random words so you cannot anticipate what’s coming, but have to hear it and decode it. Great for learning to head copy.

...it does suffer from a few defects: (1) Pasting custom word list is clunky—seems like one must get “just the right sequence” of commands (pasting and changing between Settings and normal screens)—haven’t figured out the sequence that works yet, but I just keep tryin different things until it works. It is NOT a straightforward pasting operation. Also, (2) the random number generator that is used for randomizing a list of “words,” does not have a uniform distribution. It appears to lop-off the two ends of the distribution. To get all words in my custom, pasted list to play (randomly), I must actually add two dummy words (or characters) to the start and the end of my list, since these will never play. But they will allow the actual, intended “start” and “end” characters to be selected, for play......weird......check the RNG you are using, Developer(s).

As a 42 year cw op, I must say I love this app. Easy to use! No bugs.

I can type the message, change the pitch of tone, and alter the speed at which the message is sent. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you!
