Help for the International Morse training tools. Most of the tools follow the same pattern — choose what to practise, then set up the Playback Controls to play it in the style you want — so the pages below cover the parts that are shared, plus the tools that need explaining in their own right.
There are many tooltips within each tool to get additional on the spot help. Please hover over an element or help icon to read the tooltip.
Shared features
- Morse Controls (Timing) — character speed, Farnsworth speed and pitch.
- Playback Controls — playback styles, the Build Up and Speed Racer modifiers, and the six-stage playback sequence.
- Settings Import/Export — saving, loading and sharing your settings, and how to write your own settings links.

The other tools are documented within the tools themselves; the shared features above cover the rest.

Videos
I and others have created a number of videos to explain the features of the tools. The videos embedded in the tools, and some others can be found in my Vimeo channel. I've collected together various helpful videos authored by others in my YouTube channel.
