NuMorse Professional
runs on PCs under all Microsoft operating systems from Windows 98 to Windows
Vista. Almost all machines will have sufficient speed, disk space and
memory to run the program. Your PC must have a soundboard.
Curious about the way that NuMorse Pro makes
Morse code history? In addition to the "perfect"
code expected of any computer program, NuMorse Professional has a unique
"antique code sounds" feature. Switch the feature on and listen
to how the program makes Morse code history. Well...historic code sounds
anyway. There are scratchy spark transmitters, clicking telegraph sounders
and even simulations of the last transmissions from the Titanic that made
Morse code history. That final message from the Titanic using a simulated
spark transmitter sound and with fading and noise provided by NuMorse
Professional is quite a spine chilling piece of Morse code history, albeit
a mockup generated entirely by NuMorse Pro. Listen
to it here.

you download is converted to the fully licensed version by entering a
code. If you like this Morse code shareware then pay for it when you are
ready and you will receive the activation code. The cost is $35.95 and
payment instructions are included in the program help topics or you can

The table below shows
how NuMorse Pro can help you at any level of code proficiency, there are
also some sound samples generated by NuMorse Pro.
| Pass
the 5 WPM code test with the beginners default course. |
The
default beginners course uses an ingenious system of mnemonics, or
soundalikes, to help you memorize the pattern of each character and
relate it to the alphabetic or numeric meaning. Click here
to hear what an early lesson would sound like. The letters being sent
are E N T in random sequence. The 'dit' sound is an E, the 'dah' sound
is a T and the 'Dah-Dit' sound is the N. |
| Beginners
Koch course, another way to get a pass grade in the test. |
This
course uses a method pioneered by Ludwig Koch in the 1930's. You start
off with just a few characters and then add more until you know them
all. In the Koch course you do all of this at your final target speed.
Click here for a sample of an early lesson using
the Koch method with a target text speed of 6 wpm. Two letters are
being sent at random, they are E and T. |
| Intermediate
level. Go beyond the basics and consolidate what you learn in the
courses. |
If
you need to brush up your code skills then there is a whole set of
features to help. For example, drill mode will point out your mistakes
as you copy code and also compile comprehensive statistics on your
performance to help motivate you. You can choose to play code from
your own text files or use one of the internal code sources such as
the random letter, QSO or callsign generator. Click here
for some code sent by NuMorse at about 12 WPM. For this sample NuMorse
was set to output speech phonetics as well as the code sounds of the
letters. |
| Advanced
level, turbocharged code. |
NuMorse
will send code at up to 48 WPM. There are sending modes that constantly
monitor your typed responses and adjust speed depending on your errors
while giving real-time visual feedback. This mode can be a challenge
but it does hone your receiving skills very quickly, click here
to hear some high speed code from NuMorse Professional. |
| International
level. |
By
default NuMorse Professional is U.S. based. However, there are several
features that allow you to customize the code and displayed characters
to your own requirements. Similarly, the built-in callsign generator
can be programmed to generate callsigns based on none-US rules. Click
here to download a zipped pdf file
that shows how it can be set up for the Canadian call sign system.
You will need the free Acrobat reader to read this file. |
| Just
for fun. |
There
is the "Antique sound" feature where NuMorse can be made
to sound like the spark transmitters of the pioneering days of radio.
Simulated interference and signal fading can also be introduced to
give a real radio effect. Click here to
hear a faint desperate message from the past as Morse code
history is recreated. Brought to you by NuMorse Professional,
complete with static and fading. Several other code sounds are available
or you could invent your own. |
