Duolingo for Morse code - learn by ear, not by flashcards
9 followers
The Duolingo-style way to learn Morse code by ear, not by flashcards. 12 frequency bands, 72 lessons, adaptive repetition, real radio sound. Speed rounds, daily streaks, operator levels. iOS + Android, 27 languages. Tap to transmit. Listen to decode.
CQ CQ CQ, hello Product Hunt 📡
Today we're putting MorseKit on the air.
Morse code wasn't meant to be read. It was meant to be heard. Most apps teach it like a flashcard, dots and dashes on a screen you memorize with your eyes. Real operators don't learn that way. They learn by ear, one signal at a time, until the alphabet stops looking like notation and starts feeling like rhythm.
MorseKit is built around that idea: a habit-loop learning app in the shape of a radio operator's training console.
What's inside
• 12 frequency bands, ~72 lessons: alphabet, digits, punctuation, Q-codes, prosigns, noisy-channel decoding, speed runs, operator slang
• 5-phase lesson loop: listen, recognize, mix, transmit, decode words
• 3 game modes: Speed Round (60s), Letter Drill, Word Blitz
• Real-time WAV tone synthesis (no canned clips), 5 to 20 WPM, 550 to 750 Hz
• Decode terminal for live Morse to text, with audio playback
• Like a language app, for Morse: daily missions, hearts, 15 operator levels (Cadet to Legend), and SM-2 adaptive review that tracks the letters your ear keeps missing
• iOS + Android, 27 languages
Who it's for
Ham radio and CW operators chasing a license or daily practice, retro-tech and WWII nerds, habit-gamers who already live in language apps and want a new alphabet, preppers wanting a low-bandwidth comms skill, scouts and STEM clubs picking up "the cool skill."
What I'd love from this community
• Try one lesson, then tell me what your ear felt at minute 5 vs minute 30. That delta is the whole product.
• Roast the onboarding. We've rebuilt it twice; we'll rebuild it a third time if you find the seam.
• Tell me what mode is missing. Group decode? Live QSO simulator? Headphone-only drill? We're listening.
On frequency all day. Questions, bug reports, feature wishes, first-QSO war stories all welcome. Every comment gets a reply.
73, and thanks for the boost.
