This is fun. The UI and concept are well-executed.
I wish it did farnsworth timing, though. The idea is that the individualy characters play at full 30 words per minute speed, but the characters are spaced to be at your target listening rate.
You want to hear each letter as a distinct sound rather than hearing individual dits and dahs. The added time between each character with farnsworth timing gives your audio/memory system time to make the connection rather than slowing the whole character down so you have to remember that dit-dit-dah is U.
I can typically hear at about 30 wpm with farnsworth timing. It is, for me, much harder to hear when slowed down to 10 wpm with the dits and dahs slowed way down.
It has taken a few months of practice. I'm still too nervous to use it on the ham bands aside from scheduled chats with friendly operators. My favorite way to learn has been guided courses with experienced CW (morse code) operators from cwops.
