One in particular is based on tones, namely the familiar Morse Code. In case you suddenly caught interest for this technique, then applications like Morse Test can help you learn and practice until you master it.

A great thing about it is that you don’t have to go through a setup process to get it running, because of it’s clever programming. This means you can use it on other computers as well, without worrying that the target system is affected, since registries are not a requirement of functionality.

The main window is fitted with a thorough descriptions that wants to make sure you don’t get confused while managing other elements. However, you always return to the main window when closing a different function. In case you already know a thing or two, you can go ahead and practice by using your mouse for dots and dashes.

To put the application to the test, there’s the possibility to load an existing TXT file, while Morse Test starts to read it in the specific code. Be sure to turn up the volume in case you hear nothing. On the other hand, you can configure tones to use by choosing one of several preset MIDI instruments, while speed can also be set.

A different way to learn the code is to write down text strings to be read with dots and dashes. Once a text line is added, the application gradually reads each letter, revealing your sentence through a conglomerate of beeps and boops.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Morse Test is a practical tool with which to get familiar with the Morse Code. Although it looks and feels a little rough around the edges, the variety of features makes it easy to learn and practice either by having documents read, a simple text string, or letting you speak through the mouse with dots and dashes.
