Morse Mentor provides an easy way to learn Morse Code using the Koch Method. Start by listening to 2 characters and enter what you hear. If you obtained a 90% overall accuracy then you can move on to 3 characters and repeat the process.
You immediately start learning at higher speeds so you don't hit a wall later when you're ready to advance, either as an amateur radio/CW operator or a Morse code enthusiast. Flexible options allow you to learn the way you're comfortable with and at the speed that suits you.
A Practice mode allows you to practise with the 1000 most common English words, CW abbreviations and call signs or your own custom words and sentences so you can improve your skills.
With background playback enabled, you can listen to lessons and practice in the background. So you can learn with your device in your pocket and while keeping busy with other tasks.
With narration enabled, words/sentences can be spoken before and after they're transmitted. This allows you to learn whole words and sentences faster and use the app hands-free.
Lesson Mode
* Keeps track of your accuracy and provides a report per character at the end of a lesson
* Differences are highlighted in colour so you can easily see where your entered characters don't match those transmitted
* Farnsworth timing to slow down effective playing speed without slowing down character speeds (aligned to ARRL recommendations that preserves spacing ratios)
* Hear how new characters sound before a session starts so you can prepare for the lesson
* Play new characters more frequently or play all characters with equal probability
* Play difficult/hard characters that you struggle with more often so you can get more practice
* Choose the session duration, WPM, tone frequency, word length and more
* Choose your own custom lesson characters. Supported characters are displayed on the Help screen
* Supports 43 standard characters including letters, digits, punctuation and prosigns
* Supports 44 extended letters and punctuation such as ÄÑØ and -=@$
* Use your device keyboard or the app's keyboard which contains all the standard characters covered in the lessons
* Use a dark theme for night-time and low-light situations (Android 10+)
Practice Mode
* Practise with the 1000 most common English words
* Practise with words or sentences from a file on your device or your own custom words
* Practise with amateur radio callsigns, CW abbreviations and Q-Codes
* Play words/sentences randomly or in order & keep punctuation or remove it
Background Playback
* Play lessons & practice in the background while using other apps or while your device is on standby
* Background playback is disabled by default; enable from Settings
Narration (Android 5+)
* Narrate a word/sentence using Text to Speech before or after transmitting it

* Pronounce characters using the phonetic alphabet (ITU) or the English alphabet
