Morse Mania For Mac

Morse Mania is a teaching tool that helps anyone that's interested in learning Morse Code understand how to communicate with another person using the code.

The software package helps you learn morse code at speeds ranging from 5 to 30 words per minute.

Morse Mania is ideal for amateur (ham) radio operators who desire to learnor improve their morse code proficiency, especially in order to upgrade their license class.

In addition to drills to help learn the various characters, Morse Mania also allows complete text files to be sent, so that "real life" messages can be used for practice. Koch mode is available, which is generally considered the quickest way to learn morse code.

Morse Mania also supports the Farnsworth mode, which increases the speed of the dots and dashes, and lengthens the pause between letters sent, allowing the student to learn morse code at higher speeds more easily.

Morse Mania provides the following three modules to help you learn morse code:

Learn Characters - Each morse code character is displayed on the screen as it is being played. This is useful when you're first learning the morse code alphabet, as it helps you link each sound to the corresponding character.

Guess a Character - Morse code characters are played, and you must type the key of the character sent. At the end of the exercise, your score is displayed.

Copy Groups - Random five letter morse code character groups are sent (and displayed on the screen). You select how many morse code groups you would like to have sent, and practice by copying the groups down. At the end of the exercise, compare what you copied to what was actually sent. Copy Groups - Random words are sent (and displayed on the screen). You select how many words you would like to have sent, and practice by copying them down. At the end of the exercise, compare what you copied to what was actually sent.

Morse Mania also supports Farnsworth mode. Farnsworth is useful when first learning morse code, so you don't reach the "plateau" around 7 wpm, where you can't copy any faster, because you learned the individual dots and dashes that make up each character, rather than the overall sound.

In Farnsworth mode, each character is sent at a high speed, but with a long pause between characters. Hence, you hear the character as it sounds, and don't try to learn the individual dots and dashes that make it up. The long pause gives you time to think about what you just heard, and identify the character, before the next one comes along.
