Morse Mentor

The easy way to learn Morse code using the Koch Method

Morse Mentor provides an easy way to learn Morse Code using the Koch Method. Start by listening to 2 characters and enter what you hear. If you obtained a 90% overall accuracy then you can move on to 3 characters and repeat the process.

You immediately start learning at higher speeds so you don't hit a wall later when you're ready to advance, either as an amateur radio/CW operator or a Morse code enthusiast. Flexible options allow you to learn the way you're comfortable with and at the speed that suits you.

A Practice mode allows you to practise with the 1000 most common English words, CW abbreviations and call signs or your own custom words and sentences so you can improve your skills.

With background playback enabled, you can listen to lessons and practice in the background. So you can learn with your device in your pocket and while keeping busy with other tasks.

With narration enabled, words/sentences can be spoken before and after they're transmitted. This allows you to learn whole words and sentences faster and use the app hands-free.
