morseudar

morseudar is a program that lets you practice copying Morse code played over a speaker on your computer. Currently, it is not strongly intended for learning the characters themselves but rather to practice copying lines of text.

Motivation

There are many fine applications out there for learning Morse code, especially on mobile devices, but I found that there was a lack of apps that would work with a keyboard. While this may not be the case for everyone, I'm able to type faster than I can write and I can absolutely type faster with all of my fingers than I can with just my thumbs.

Features

Configurable WPM timing, defaulting to 10 wpm.
Adjustable beep frequency, defaulting to 700 Hz.
Optional Farnsworth timing. This means that while the words themselves are sent at one rate, the spacing between the words is sent as if it were a slower rate of words per minute.
Different modes to choose from. Modes include the top X words in English, code groups, individual characters, Q codes, and text from arbitrary files.
When your answer is compared to the original line sent, it's not an either/or comparison. Rather than missing one character absolutely derailing everything, you'll get partial credit for the answer.
Session tatistics! At the end of a session, morseudar will print out a set of statistics on how you did, including average percentage correct, average time taken to answer, and the average number of tries you took to answer correctly.
Statistics over time (in progress). Keep track of how you're doing over time.
Command-line goodness. Instead of having a GUI, it happily runs in a terminal window and just does its job.

Usage

Usage:
  morseudar [OPTIONS]

Application Options:
  -v, --version          Print version info.
  -w, --wpm=             Words per minute. Defaults to 10.
  -o, --farnsworth=      Farnsworth timing. Words are sent at the speed given
			 with -w/--wpm, but the spaces between words are sent
			 at this WPM. For instance, -w 20 -o 10 would send
			 words at 20 wpm, but spaced out as if they were sent
			 at 10 wpm, giving you more time to process.
  -f, --frequency=       Frequency in Hz for Morse beep. Defaults to 700.
  -m, --mode=            Mode to run morseudar under. Options include: text
			 (requires -t/--text), randomline (also requires
			 -t/--text), codegroups, codealnum, codenumbers,
			 topwords, qcodes, chars. Defaults to topwords.
  -t, --text=            Path to text file to load and use for copying testing.
			 Required for 'text' mode.
  -n, --top-word-num=    How many words from the top word list to include. Only
			 relevant in topwords mode.
  -q, --qcode-questions  Include Q codes followed by a question mark (i.e. QRS
			 and QRS?).
  -r, --sequential       Send lines sequentially instead of randomly. Not
			 relevant for the code group modes.
