Morse code speed test

How to use the speed test

1. Pick a character set and how many five-character groups to send.
2. Set the character speed and, if you like, a slower Farnsworth speed.
3. Press Start and type each character as you hear it. Don't stop on a miss — leave it and keep going.
4. Press Check to compare your copy with what was sent.

Reading your score

Your copying speed is the fastest setting at which you reliably score about 90% or more. If you score lower, reduce the Farnsworth speed rather than the character speed, so letters still sound the same. When you pass comfortably, raise the effective speed by 1–2 WPM.
