Summary

  • A web-based tool called Morse Master helps users learn Morse code by translating it audibly or visually, or a combination of the two.
  • Morse Master was created by Arnov Sharma and is aimed at licenced radio users who want help learning the code.
  • Users can input text and play the Morse code translation audibly, or flash the code on a set of LEDs.
  • Alternatively, users can enter the code themselves using a physical keyboard and the results will be displayed or played audibly.
  • One commentator observes that learning Morse code visually is not practical and that audio tools which translate text to code are more effective.
  • Another remarks that listening is far more effective than trying to send code using a keyboard, and recommends a website called LCWO which helps users learn the sounds through repetitive exercises.
  • A third comment suggests that Jerry Ziliak’s audio tapes, which use a form of coding hypnosis to embed the sounds in recipients’ minds, are an effective learning method.
  • The comments highlight the different learning styles and range of tools available to aspiring Morse code practitioners.
