HotPaw Morse Test

Icon:

Audio learning can be a great brain exercise. This is a Morse Code test generator which generates random 5-letter words and sends them in International Morse Code using your iPhone speaker. The WPM (words per minute) speed can be easily set. You can set the dot speed (as in the Farnsworth method), and tone frequency. You can also configure the number of possible letter and numbers used, as well as customize the list of letter and numbers from which the code groups are generated. 100 letter (20 5-letter words) are generated at a time, making it easy for you to score the percentage you can copy correctly.

If you are just starting, go to the Settings page and set the number of characters used to just 2 or 3 at first. You can gradually increase the number of characters used as you become familiar with their sounds. It's been recommended that you set the Dot WPM speed to no lower than 13 WPM, so that you hear each letter more as one sound or rhythm, rather than individual dits and dahs.

Hit "Start" to start sending a Morse code test. You can choose "Show", to see the letters displayed as they are sent to the speaker. This is helpful when first learning. After you are familiar with the sound of the letters, you can "Hide" the display of the characters 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 characters you copied correctly.
