Freeware to learn and train the Morse code.

Supported languages : English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portugheese, Hungarian.
Linux/Ubuntu/Androïd users may run CW_PLAYER through WINE 1.0 or CROSSOVER.

Two learning methods are included : the KOCH method or your own method by creating your own set of lessons.
The Farnsworth method (which consists to learn with a character speed greater than the word speed) is easily set in CW_PLAYER in adding spaces between characters. For example, setting the character speed to 18wpm and setting 3 spaces between characters will lead to an overall word speed of about 12wpm.
CW_PLAYER includes a simple Morse audio decoder which will help you to practice a good keying.
CW_PLAYER includes automatic CW keying of your transmitter through serial and parallel ports or manual keying through the Joystick port.
If connecting a dual-contact key on the serial or parallel port of your computer, CW_PLAYER will work like an el-bug.
CW_PLAYER supports iambic mode A but forget this mode if you are a beginner. If not convinced, please have a look at this text.
CW_PLAYER saves texts as .wav Morse files and a small utility software is provided to convert WAV files to MP3 files. This converter may also be downloaded separately (WAV2MP3).
CW_PLAYER allows you to create and send a CW beacon that you set with your own datas, for example with the weather data given by WX_PLAYER.
CW_PLAYER plays text files in ANSI or ASCII format. A simple UFT8-to-ANSI converter allows you to display and to play UFT8 text files by trancoding them into ANSI format. As an option, CW_PLAYER creates small text files in 5 different languages by using the news headlines of the AFP press agency.
A special menu will add some fun for our lovely kids.
CW_PLAYER offers you two games to relax while keeping the Morse code in mind : the famous Mahjong and a Memory game.
