There is a gap between knowing Morse code and being fast at Morse code. You can memorise every letter from a chart and still freeze when someone sends you a real signal. Practice closes that gap — but only if you are doing the right kind of practice.
Our online Morse code practice has two modes, each targeting a different skill. They sound simple. They are not easy.
Two-Button Tap — Like the Google Morse Keyboard
Google added Morse code input to Gboard in 2018 as an accessibility feature. The interface is two large buttons: one for dot, one for dash. You tap out any letter by combining them. It is the closest thing to a real Morse key that runs in a browser.
Our Two-Button Tap mode works the same way. A letter appears on screen and plays as audio. You tap the dot and dash buttons to match the code. When your input reaches the correct length it checks your answer automatically — no submit button needed.
Two-Button Tap — dot button on the left, dash on the right. Build any Morse code character.
Why two buttons works: Using a real key or keyboard forces your fingers to learn the rhythm directly. Picking from a list of options lets your eyes do the work instead of your hands. Two buttons is the difference between recognising Morse and sending it.
Listen and Pick — Ear Training
A Morse signal plays. You see four letter choices. You pick the right one before the next signal starts. That is it.
It sounds easy for the first few letters. By the time you are hearing U (··–) vs F (··–·) at 13 WPM in the same session, it stops being easy. The point is to train your brain to process signals as whole sound patterns rather than counting individual dots and dashes — which is too slow to work at speed.
Mode 1
Two-Button Tap
See the letter. Hear it. Tap dot and dash to build the code. Trains your hands and builds sending muscle memory.
Mode 2
Listen and Pick
Hear the signal. Pick the letter from four options. Trains your ear for fast audio recognition — essential for radio operation.
Streak and Accuracy Tracking
Both modes track your streak (consecutive correct answers), accuracy percentage, and best streak across all sessions. Your best streak saves automatically — it does not reset when you close the browser.
Live stats — correct answers, accuracy, current streak, and your all-time best
Sound Toggle — Type Anytime or Wait for Audio
By default the practice mode waits for the audio signal to finish before accepting input — the point is to train your ear. But if you already know the letter from sight, you can switch to "Type Anytime" mode and tap the answer the moment you see it. Both approaches are valid depending on what you are trying to improve.
Downloading Your Score Card
When you want to show someone your progress, the Download Score Card button generates a PNG image with your stats — correct answers, accuracy, best streak, and your name if you have entered one. It is a canvas-drawn image that downloads straight to your device with no server involved.
