Description
This app teaches you to 'receive' Morse code.
It starts with two letters and automatically adds more when it understands that you are ready.
This is the easiest and most efficient way to learn Morse code as the app focuses on the practice you need next, instead of wasting your time with stuff you already know or confusing you with stuff that you still don’t.
The original idea comes from Ward K9OX (http://c2.com/morse/).
By default the app uses the 'Koch' method letter sequence and starts with the first two letters: K and M. But you can use any of the methods available and find the one that suits more your likings. There's also a training program for the top 40 words used during a CW QSO.
Around each letter you have a circle chart showing how high is your error score. It starts from 100% (full circle) and lowers as you start guessing letters right and increases when you are wrong or you take too much time to recognise them.
To start the training, simply press the PLAY button on the top right of the display.
At this point the app will start playing tones. Press the one that you think corresponds to the tone. If you are wrong, the app will let you know by playing an 'error' sound. If you are right, the app will continue by picking up another letter or word. Once you'll become good enough with the active letters, the app will enable a new one following the method selected.
You can decide to put the training lesson on hold by pressing the PAUSE button. Or stop it by pressing the STOP button. If you want to have an automatic stop after a certain amount of minutes, you can set the SESSION TIME in the settings.
While not training, you can tap on any key or word and listen to its tone to start to get used to it even outside of the training session.
You can access the SETTINGS by tapping the 'hamburger icon' on the top left.
You can look at your top 10 scores by tapping BEST SCORES in the left menu.
Important: you can use the app in both landscape and portrait mode!
Enjoy learning Morse code!

Comments on Morse Machine for Ham Radio for Android
★★★★★
Great app for learning Morse code! I love using it! The only two things I would change are: 1. When you're going somewhat fast, but then the timed session just finished and the session's small statistics box pop up. If you are in process of pressing your last test key, and it's outside that statistics box, the box then goes away. So you didn't even get to see your stats. 2. Add the "letters per minute" stat to the timed session stats box that pops up after a session.
★★★★★
I'm digging it so far. It takes a lot of practice to learn the code, but this app seems to be helping. This app is kind of fun to learn with.
★★☆☆☆
It does exactly what it portends to do, and does it well. However, the result is that I learn the keyboard positions of the sounded letters rather than the letters. If it spoke the name of the letter after it had been correctly selected, that might have helped. It would also help to have a keyer so that I could practice forming the sounds of the letters, and also have the app judge the intelligibility of my keying. I regret getting this app.
★★☆☆☆
App crashes on any screen touch. No longer works on my Samsung A51 on latest Android version. Was working great before last update from Samsung. Please fix it.
★★☆☆☆
Beware that this app will not work on Pixel 7 pro, it must be a 32bit app. Pixel 7 will only run 64bit apps. Please update to 64bit.
★★☆☆☆
Was great but now as soon as I touch the screen it's gone!
