About the Morse code trainer

What is the best Morse code trainer?
The best Morse code trainer is the one that teaches by ear and that you use every day. Look for characters at full speed (the Koch method), a schedule that brings back what you miss, and a way to practice sending. The trainers here do all three in your browser, for free, and share one progress, so you never lose your place between them.
What is the best method to learn Morse code?
Learn by ear at full speed, one character at a time: the Koch method. Start with two characters, add the next when you copy 90%, and review a few minutes every day. How to learn Morse code sets out the whole path, from the first lesson to copying a contact.
Do I need to install Morse code training software?
No. Every trainer here runs in a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to download and no account. Your progress stays in the browser you use, and a backup file moves it to another device.
Do I need a Morse code trainer device or card?
No. Trainer cards and kits are small electronic boards you key on, which sound and often show what you send; they suit sending practice away from a screen.
To learn to copy by ear, a phone or computer with sound is enough. For sending, the Morse code simulator reads a keyboard, a touch screen or a real key through a MIDI or USB adapter.
Can I learn Morse code without a teacher?
Yes. The course plays, you copy, and it scores each group and adds the next character when you are ready, so no one needs to check your work. If you want a teacher too, amateur radio clubs run Morse classes over video calls, and the trainers here work beside a class as daily practice.
How long does it take to learn Morse code?
With 15 to 20 minutes a day and a new character every day or two, the 40 lessons of the Koch method course take about six weeks to three months. Copying words and contacts at speed takes longer. How long it takes to learn Morse code breaks it down by goal.
How do I move my progress to another device?
Press Back up under the dashboard to save your progress as a file. On the other device, open this page and press Restore with that file. Progress lives in your browser, so a new device or a cleared browser starts fresh without a backup.
Is the Morse code trainer free?
Yes. Every trainer is free, with no sign-up and no limit on practice.
Everything runs in your browser and nothing you answer or send is uploaded. Display ads on the site pay for it.
