About Koch Morse Trainer Pro

Take your morse code to the next level with Koch Morse Trainer Pro. The only trainer that supports prosigns (procedural signals) and non-english extensions characters on Android. NOW WITH RSS FEEDS!

Learn or improve your morse code in a short amount of time. The Koch method is designed to teach you morse at full speed. There's no need to learn at slow speeds then re-learn all the characters again once you increase your wpm.

If you wish to start off slow or simply want to pass your 5 wpm morse exam, this app has adjustable speeds to suit your needs.

KMT uses Farnsworth timings like the ARRL use for their transmissions and practice tapes. You can increase the gap between characters so you still learn them at full speed but not feel overwhelmed by the frequency they are sent.

Main Features:

✓ Character and word speeds are fully adjustable between 5 and 50 wpm
✓ Eight modes: random, 100 common words, 1000 common words, QSO (includes prosigns), callsign, morse abbreviations, custom text (which also allows you to input & practice prosigns also), and RSS Feeds
✓ Test yourself! Input what you're hearing and calculate your results to see how well you're doing
✓ Warm up feature which plays the latest character prior to the main session
✓ Character setup option screen to include/exclude characters, such as punctuation, prosigns and non-english characters - this also allows you to learn additional characters
✓ Adjustable group size with option to fix size in random mode
✓ Adjustable pre-session delay and session time (1 minute to 30 minutes)
✓ Adjustable tone frequency (200Hz - 2000Hz)
✓ Background noise (QRM) simulator
✓ Speak feature which tells you the latest character if text to speech is available
✓ Favour recent characters option for those new characters so they are played more often
✓ Display character before or after it's sent
✓ Plus lots of customisable options to change

Fantastic app. Lots of options for source text, including RSS feeds, means you won't get bored. Using it to increase my speed. Highly recommend it.

The best app! Perfect, not just for learning but increasing speed too! Thanks!

I can easily contribute my success in learning mores code to this app. The ability to adjust virtually everything is amazing. I also like the HF background noise option, so smart. Fantastic job and a well deserved 5 stars!

Q70%
by Q####:

I love this app format, but cannot use it currently due to some weird 'echoing' and 'clicking' in the morse tone sound. This occurs even when the 'noise' function is set to zero. Worse when 'noise' function is enabled. I've also ensured that any audio enhancement settings/apps on my phone are removed/disabled. This behavior occurs with headphones, or the builtin speaker. No difference. Great potential for this app, really hope the audio wierdness gets addressed in an update. Not usable in current state with my particular phone (Samsung S7 Edge, Verizon default settings US, no mods)

Y70%
by Y####:

As other reviews stated, kmt Pro has great and useful variability. I particularly like setting char speed at 30 +/- and the word speed slower and then work on increasing word speed.

Q70%
by Q####:

I have tried at least 4 different CW practice apps, and I have to say, I like this app the best. The user interface is very simple to use and since it teaches using the Koch method, I give it 5 stars!

W70%
by W####:

Of all the morse tutors I've tried this is my favourite. It's very flexible in how you can set it up and yet is very easy to use straight out of the box. My only criticism is that practicing morse properly should involve practicing sending as well as receiving. Sadly, like so many, this app is let down by not having this capability. The only app which 'does it all' is 'Morse Code Trainer' (and is free). But for practicing receiving (only) this is definitely the best out there, and I've tried them all.

Selected this App after looking at many others. I use it daily and cannot fault it. Very well designed and lots of options. The performance measurement by input is perfect. Highly recommended.

N70%
by N####:

I like being able to listen to RSS feeds and vary my practice sessions. I'd also like to be able to use the Share feature in other apps to send text to it for translation into morse like custom text, but easier to populate.

R70%
by R####:

The best morse trainer I have found for any platform and I've tried a few! The edge it has is that when paired with a bluetooth keyboard you can practise copying and have your work assessed. It is a very nice way to train.

A70%

... system screen keyboard may hide the most important controls of the app. A little interface rearrangement would be appreciated.

N70%
by N####:

Not much better than the free versions out there, if any better at all. Input mode is awkward to use, and the screen doesn't adjust for your keyboard so the control buttons get covered.

Excellant code trainer

My speed increased tremendously last year when I listened to the random words during my commute.. I did that for a couple months and I went from about 18 wpm to well over 30 wpm. Thanks! #! EDIT! Reading other reviews, I found out about the RSS feed feature.. WHAT! This is awesome! I used to download files from arrl to my phone and listen, what a pain.. The feed is a great idea.. 6 stars!

This is the best trainer I have tried. I like it better than the koch trainer on my iPad. The noise feature really helps getting used to copying over the air. The RSS feed is great also. No memorizing the same code sent over and over. Don't waste your money on any other trainer this is all you need. 73 Steve

The best trainer I've seen. The rss feed is also great. It would be nice to have a mode where the app automatically reads back the words. Keep it up.

This is a good program, but how do you stop it from running. I even exited back to my home page and still it runs. I had to Force stop it. Put a halt function key somewhere please.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Farnsworth timing and the Koch method for learning letters. Very configurable. By far the best Morse application I've found on this market.

X70%
by X####:

Nice program for training, but the way stats are computed, once you miss a character, pretty much all the rest is considered a 'miss' unless you are lucky. A better way to do stats would be to realign the stats at the start of each group, it would be much more accurate.

I love this app...the latest update made it even better! Super customizable & it makes learning CW fun and easy...I've been practicing at lunch and I'm amazed at how quick I've picked it up. Keep up the great work!

This has really become the best tool for learning morse code. it's super easy to set up, understand, and begin training. this is the first app I've used that I feel is actually working. I think my copy speed has increased already. I've been a CW operator for a couple of years and have been stuck at a consistent 11 WPM. That's about to change thanks to KMT Pro!
