This App is really helpful in my learning to copy CW.

Auld School, Oct 29, 2014

Great program, but...

...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).

Very nice app

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

Exactly What I Needed

After you learn the individual letters and digits, this is a great next step. There are many apps that send sentences or RSS headlines, but those aren't good for learning CW because you anticipate the next word. With random words, you can't guess the next word, so you really have to *recognize* the current word. The only thing I really wish the author would add is the option of adding the next 500 common words. Very nicely done.

Lags on letter display

There is a severe lag present between hearing the letter and the letter showing up, which adds to confusion. The lag gets worse as you go. For example, being ten letters into the message and then the fifth letter shows up. If you're watching the screen and keeping track mentally instead of writing it down, this will throw you off. There is no way to adjust lag time or immediacy of the letter shown after it is heard. On the latest ios version 7.1.1 as of this review. This would be very helpful to me if this lag wasn't present. I want to like this app but, this issue makes it useless.

Perfect

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.

PERFECT

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!

good idea, flawed implementation

Straightforward practice tool with a clean interface, but with two bad problems: First, it cannot be dialed down slower than five words per minute for rank beginners (the most obvious audience). Second, when configured to show the letters while it plays them, it lags several letters behind, making the feature quite frustrating.

Great tool!

Already recognizing letters after using the app for about 30 min. Love the fact that you can hide the letters and then go back and show them to see if you are receiving them correctly. Great app, and it's free! I probably would have payed for it!

Description

HotPaw Morse Words is a aid to learning Morse Code. Audio learning can be a great brain exercise. This app can help you learn the sound of entire words in Morse Code.

The app is a test generator which randomly picks from 250 very common English words and sends them in International Morse Code audio through your iPhone speaker or headset. The WPM (words per minute) speed can be easily set up to 100 WPM. You can also separately set the dot speed (for Farnsworth method code), and customize the tone frequency. Hit "Start" to start sending random Morse code text. You can choose "Show", to see the words displayed as they are sent to the speaker. This is helpful when first learning. After you are familiar with the sound of the words, you can "Hide" the display of the words sent, and attempt to copy them down on paper as your hear them. Then you can later show them in order to check how many words you copied correctly. Optionally you can paste a custom word list, from 5 to 500 words in length, using the Settings view.
