Hear the whole character
Characters play with their normal internal rhythm. Slower effective speed comes from extra space, not stretched dits and dahs.

Your Morse practice
Choose a starting level, then practise with 5, 10 or 15 signals. Audio starts only when you press Play; revealed answers show the written pattern.
Progress, review dates and settings stay in this browser; translator messages are never saved.
How the review schedule works
Correct answers move through suggested intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days. Errors are due immediately and return once near the end of the session. The schedule guides review; it does not predict memory.
A practice path you can return to
Build recognition instead of memorizing a chart
Morse-specific research is limited. This path combines established training practice with active recall and spaced review; progress is not proof of proficiency.
Expand a small set
Start with a few contrasting sounds, keep earlier characters in the mix and select any later set when your experience justifies it.
Retrieve, then reveal
Type what you heard before the answer appears. Immediate written feedback and replay make each error useful.
Return without pressure
Short sessions bring due and difficult characters forward. There are no streaks, leaderboards or promises of a fixed learning time.
1 : 3 : 7
Keep the rhythm; adjust the spacing
International Morse uses stable 1:3:7 proportions. Farnsworth practice keeps characters crisp while giving more time between them, then lets you narrow that space gradually.
- Dit: 1 sound unit; dah: 3 sound units.
- Silence inside a character: 1 unit.
- Standard silence between characters: 3 units.
- Standard silence between words: 7 units.
- Lower effective WPM adds space between characters and words only.
Technical source
What this learning path is based on
The code and timing come from the ITU recommendation. Training choices draw on ARRL and CW Academy practice plus research on retrieval and spacing; none establishes one universal Morse curriculum.
