Excellent app

Ive always wanted to get my code speed up to a reasonable level - say 20 WPM. This app seems to meet my needs. It lacks good documentation on some specifics, but is generally easy to use. I have had (and written) programs that allow for more fine tuning of character weights and spacing, but that is really not necessary. I was initially confused by some of the settings. WPM is self explanatory, but "seconds spacing" threw me for a minute. Then I realized that the spacing refers to the button to the left. In other words, the "Learn Characters" button will space characters X seconds apart based on the setting you choose.

A comment was made in another review about the sending speed being off. I tested the app with a text file that contained the word "Paris" ten times. This is the classic method for testing speed. With the program set at 10 WPM the file was sent in just a bit more than 60 seconds. Thus, the speed is very close - maybe a tiny bit slow, but not enough to matter. Im using OS X 10.7.5. Remember not to click the "Farnsworth" button if you are testing the speed.

Morse is an acquired skill. Im happy to have a good learning tool available whenever I have a few minutes to practice.
