Learn Morse code online without installing software

Hear a letter on the alphabet chart, translate a phrase, then keep short daily sessions in the trainer and listening practice. This page is the map; the tools do the work.

When to use

Absolute beginners; returning after years away; teachers pointing students to one clean URL; anyone who wants a path instead of a keyword dump.

Better elsewhere

Already comfortable near 20 WPM? Jump to the WPM test or for/ham. One-off conversion → translator or home console.

Assumptions

Suggested path = alphabet peek → translator audio → trainer (≈20 Char / 5 Farnsworth-style) → listen drills → optional WPM check. Local progress only.

Examples

Input

Week 1: E T A N in trainer · 10 minutes/day

Result

Small set, honest character speed, wider Farnsworth gaps

Input

Week 2: add listen drills for the same set

Result

Don’t lower character WPM — tighten gaps instead

Input

Temptation: read the chart for an hour

Result

Feels productive; isn’t — switch to ear copy

How it works

  1. Tap letters on the alphabet chart.
  2. Play phrases in the translator / audio translator.
  3. Daily trainer unlocks, then listen drills for the same set.
  4. Check speed on the WPM test when you feel ready.

Alphabet peek → hear phrases → daily trainer unlocks → listen drills → WPM check

Gotchas

  • Charts help once; ear copy is the skill that sticks.
  • One video does not replace short daily copy practice.
  • Clearing site data resets local trainer progress — there is no cloud restore.

Compare

Structured drills: trainer. Ham-focused: for/ham. Just convert: translator. Chart: alphabet. Listen: listen.

Suggested order

Hear a letter, translate a phrase, then short daily trainer and listen sessions. Clarity of the next step matters more than collecting more tabs.

Week-one sketch

  • Day 1–2: tap alphabet, play SOS once to hear the rhythm.
  • Day 3–7: trainer 10 minutes — tiny Koch set, generous Farnsworth.
  • Week 2: add listen on the same set; don’t drop character WPM.
  • Occasional WPM test to check whether the speed feels honest.

Trap to avoid

Staring at charts for an hour feels busy and rarely sticks. If you already copy ~20 WPM comfortably, skip to for/ham or the speed tools.

Common questions

Short answers from real friction points.

Weeks to months of short sessions; stop chasing a single magic number.
