Learning with DotDash is fun, and it actually sticks. Quick, bite-sized lessons teach you letters in the proven Koch order — you earn XP, keep streaks and unlock new characters while training your ear on real Morse audio.

Weak letter K scheduled

backed by science

We combine the Koch method, Farnsworth timing and spaced repetition — the techniques radio operators have trusted for decades — with adaptive speed from 5 to 40 WPM. DotDash finds your weak letters and brings them back right when you’re about to forget.

send secret messages

Turn anything into Morse and share it as a video or audio clip. Friends tap to decode it in the app — and reply in code. It’s the most fun way to practise, and the best excuse to get your friends learning too.

how dotdash works

Three habits, five minutes a day. That’s the whole method.

01

Hear it

Every character is taught by sound at real speed, never by memorising a chart. Your ear learns the rhythm from day one.

02

Tap it

Answer with a tap, type it, or key it yourself on the Signal Pad. Hearts and XP keep the stakes fun.

03

Use it

Send secret messages, decode your friends’ replies and read real signals — CQ, SOS, 73.
