KochMorse is a easy to use morse tutor (trainer) for Linux using the Koch-mehtod. It provides a clean and modern graphical interface. The current release (version 0.99.x) is full featured and stable. I've tested it under Fedora and Ubuntu and it works well. If you have trouble to get it running or you like to see any features added, please contact me by mail: hmatuschek [at] gmail [dot] com.

The Koch-method

This tutor uses the Koch-method, which is known to be the fastest way to learn morse-code. This method, named after the German psychologist Ludwig Koch, tries to prevent you from building lookup-tables while learning. Therefore you will always learn at full-speed i.e. 20 or 25 WPM, so you have no time to build lookup-tables. You will start with two letters. Try to copy them 5 minutes long. If you copied 90% correctly, simply add one more character and so on...

Technical

This application was written in Python but uses alsa for sound-output. So it will only run on platforms providing alsa! The GUI is build using glade2 and GTK2. So you will need these libraries and their python-binding to run KochMorse.
