Morse Trainer

Where this is going

Morse code lets you build every letter from just two things: a short press and a long press. Your one switch can make both. Learn the letters as rhythms, practice until they feel natural, and soon you won't think about dots and dashes at all — you'll just think the word, and your switch will spell it. That's the destination: your voice, one press at a time.

Your path, step by step

1. Set up your switchIn Settings, we measure your natural short and long presses once, so the trainer fits you exactly. A helper can do this with you in about a minute.
2. Learn the letters, a few at a timeEight small lessons, easiest letters first. E and T are a single press each — you'll key a real word within minutes.
3. Master each one, then practice real wordsKey a letter right three times and it's yours. Every practice word uses only letters you already know, so you're spelling real things right away.
4. Keep them sharp in PracticeShort, friendly drills mix up everything you've learned. Ten or fifteen minutes a day is plenty — a little and often beats a lot, rarely.
5. Speak, in Type & SpeakKey anything and the computer says it aloud. After Lesson 7 you'll have every letter in I LOVE YOU — key it with someone you love in the room.

Good to know

• Misses cost you nothing. Get one wrong and the trainer simply plays the rhythm again and waits. There's no timer and no way to fail.
• Watch the paper tape. Every press prints onto the tape — a dot for short, a bar for long — so you can see exactly what you sent.
• You set the pace. Nothing moves until you do. Rest whenever you need to; a pause just finishes the letter.
• It's yours to keep. The trainer works offline and remembers where you are, so you can pick up right where you left off.

Choose a lesson

Each lesson adds a few letters. Master them, then practice real words made only of letters you know.
