The timing sounds off (incorrect dot-dash-pause ratio) and the characters are not well shaped keyed, not very pleasant. There are much better options, among others:<p><a href="https://morsecode.world/international/trainer/trainer.html" rel="nofollow">https://morsecode.world/international/trainer/trainer.html</a><p><a href="https://lcwo.net/" rel="nofollow">https://lcwo.net/</a><p><a href="http://www.elkins.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elkins.org/</a><p>Here's a comprehensive list of Morse resources:<p><a href="https://morsecode.ninja/resources/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://morsecode.ninja/resources/index.html</a>
I recently learned Morse code. Long story short, for a while my life took a strange turn where I had full reign over someone else's Airbnb, and was free to modify the place in my image. We found this big light fixture meant for the ceiling, but in a moment of divine inspiration put it out on the fire escape and ran the wire to the house server as our "semaphore". Originally I was going to add server code to translate messages from some API endpoint into Morse. But just to get things off the ground, I set it up as a normal light switch and started keying in messages by hand.<p>I spent a few afternoons keying out random silly / vulgar messages. Stuff like "- .... . / ..-. -.-. -.-. / .-- - -. - / .-.. . - / -- . / -...", "- .... . / .-.. .. --. .... - ... / -. --- - / - .- .-.. -.- .. -. --. / -.-- --- ..- / .... .- ...- . / --. --- -. . / -- .- -.." and ".. -- / -- . ... ... .- -.. .. -. -.. / .- -... --- ..- - / -.-- --- ..- .-. / -.-. .- .-. ... / . -..- - . -. -.. . -.. / .-- .- .-. .-. .- -. - -.--". At first I had to look at a Morse reference sheet while keying these in, but after a few hours I was no longer looking at the sheet.<p>Moral of the story, it only takes a few bored afternoons to learn Morse. You should do it.
The trick to getting good at Morse code is to learn how the letters (and eventually words) sound, rather than parsing individual dits and dahs. I wouldn't recommend using this on anything but the "fast" speed, and even then, it's almost too slow.<p>I'll second the recommendation of <a href="https://lcwo.net" rel="nofollow">https://lcwo.net</a> . That's how I learned it, and I was able to get up to about 10 wpm after a couple months of practice.
This is a fun game - more Morse code games are a good idea!<p>The slow setting is painfully slow though - that isn't teaching the right sound of the morse code.<p>So I'd suggest the minimum letter speed should be 20wpm but with spacing between the letters to make it easier to understand when you get up to words.<p>Note dot time in ms is 1200/wpm if that helps!<p>PS speaking as someone who can do morse at about 15 wpm now after having studied on LCWO for quite a few months!
I'm seeing a bug where if you interrupt a listening exercise, i.e. by pressing "try again" because you missed something, it starts playing it at max speed. Any ideas what could be causing this?
A question: Is there a shortcut for the "Try again" button?<p>And a suggestion: Pressing that button clears the input, which is annoying when you have partial input correctly entered there.
