calum.org Accept, or change

Well, another itch needed to be scratched.

I wanted something that would teach me morse code, and I thought the best way was just to have something on my phone, which would play random codes to me, and then tell me what they were.

Couldn't find one, so wrote my own.

I used the cwpcm program from cwtext to generate the tones, and Audacity to record my dulcet tones.

It's tested on a Nokia N80 and an N95, but will probably work on quite a few more phones.

You can download it at http://files.calum.org/MorseTutor.jad

It is, however, a fairly large download (1.5MB), and could cost you. This is due to the amount of .wav files within it. You might want to only install it over Wifi, or download it on you computer, and transfer it over Bluetooth, or a cable.

It's currently my voice that's speaking the letters out, and I was bored, as it took several "takes" to get it all right. If you unzip the jar file, you should be able to replace the wav files with ones you record.

I'm planning to leave it running under my pillow all night, and see if it "soaks in".
