Cute CW: learn Morse Code

• Introduction

  CuteCW is a graphical interface that provides Carrier Wave (CW) training with a number of different training modes and games. If you want to learn Morse Code (aka CW), this app uses modern teaching conventions to help you learn it as fast as possible.

*** Modes

  CuteCW currently offers the following training modes:

    + Recognition Training
    + Speed Training
    + Word Training
    + Grouping Training
    + Straight Key Training

  Additionally it provides the following extras:

    + Type Morse Code
    + Read to me
    + Word game
    + Grouping game
    + Key Invaders

*** Background

I've had thoughts for a long time about how we train ourselves in CW ("Carrier Wave" otherwise known as Morse Code). After preparing for a presentation about learning CW I realized software could really help us out in ways not yet seen. This is my effort to help decrease the pain in training your brain to understand Morse Code.

That means to compile it you'll need some distribution of [[http://qt.io/][Qt6]] You can download any of the recent Qt SDK sets and open the /cutecw.pro/ file using /qtcreator/, which will then be able to compile and edit the code. Or, if you want to compile it via a terminal you can try the following steps:

  1. qmake6
  2. make
  3. optionally: make install
