Morse Code Listening Practice
Learn Morse code by ear with this free online audio trainer. Listen to a signal, then type the letter you hear. Start with E and T and work through all 26 letters of the International Morse alphabet in seven groups. You can replay each sound and adjust the speed, pitch, and volume. No account or previous course is required.
Morse listening course
Hear each complete Morse rhythm and identify its letter, from E and T through A–Z. You can start without finishing the alphabet course.
Listening progress is saved in this browser separately from the alphabet course. Neither course changes the other.

How to Practise Morse Code Listening
- Start the first group and listen to each new letter’s complete rhythm.
- In the listening exercises, play the sound all the way through, then enter one letter from A to Z. Replay it when you need to.
- Practise a mix of new and earlier letters. A missed answer returns later for another try.
- Complete the group check to unlock the next group. You can revisit completed groups or review the letters you have learned.
There is no answer timer or minimum speed to pass. Results distinguish correct answers after one listen from those after replay, so you can see which sounds you recognize straight away. You can return to an unfinished session later; opening the page never starts audio automatically.
Learn A–Z by Sound in Seven Groups
The course introduces letters in this order: E T → I M A N → S U R W → D K G O → H V F L → P J B X → C Y Z Q. Later groups bring back earlier sounds, and finishing all seven unlocks a full A–Z review.
Try to connect the whole sound directly to its letter. For example, A is a short tone followed by a long tone, heard together as di-dah. The Morse code alphabet chart is useful for checking a pattern; return to the sound when practising reception.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a beginner learn Morse code by ear here?
Yes. The first group contains only E and T, and you hear new letters before answering questions. You do not need to finish the alphabet course first. That course trains written dot-and-dash recall; this one trains recognition by sound, with separate progress.
Can I change the speed or replay a signal?
Yes. Open the sound settings to adjust playback speed, pitch, and volume, or play the current sound again. WPM means words per minute, a standard way to describe Morse speed; here it describes playback speed, not how quickly you must type your answer.
Does this include words, numbers, or Wabun Morse?
This trainer covers individual International Morse letters A–Z. It does not teach numbers, punctuation, whole words, or Japanese Wabun. To hear your own words or messages, use the International Morse code translator. Japanese kana have their own Wabun translator.
Is this a Koch or Farnsworth trainer?
This course uses its own fixed seven-group letter sequence. It is not a configurable Koch course, and it does not offer separate character and spacing speeds for Farnsworth practice. The Morse code learning guide explains those methods and how to build a study routine.
Progress and Privacy
Listening progress and sound settings stay in this browser. All language versions share the same listening record, while the alphabet course keeps its own progress. Your course records are not uploaded and do not sync to other browsers or devices. Clearing this site’s browser data removes them. Resetting listening progress keeps your sound settings. If storage is unavailable, you can still practise temporarily; unreadable saved progress is reported without being overwritten.
