It seems to be a begginer producer, sounds pretty cool, Its not really about the song itself, but its the morsecode at the end of it that has me intrigued.. if someone knows this kind of morse a transcription would be really appreciated! I tried to translate it but it seems that its other kind of morse, maybe japanese letters in morse or something like that, because what i got didnt make sense or any words at all but I AM sure that it says something

I thoroughly enjoyed Wholesome_Soup's post earlier this month about "Stacked Morse" so I built a tool for generating it from text. Currently only supports the standard alphabet, but I might extend it to numbers in the future if there's interest.

I've finished lesson 40 and added these 10 extra characters, but I think they are really slowing me down. I currently practice these at character speed 36wpm but an effective speed of only 6wpm and I'm still struggling not to make 1-2 mistakes per minute.

I am trying to slowly bring my character speed down and my effective speed up hoping they meet in the middle somewhere between 14-17wpm, but I'm really hitting a plateau. I feel like the extra characters are a little more complex and often sound a little similar to one or two of the other characters which is really tripping me up.

Is it better for me to stick with Lesson 40 and get rid of the extra work/character spacing and then add them back, or should I stick with it and try to push through the plateau?

In your experience how important are the extra characters and if important how/when should they be added?

My biggest fear is that by practicing with such low effective wpm I'm cementing that spacing as "normal" for me and maybe letting bad habits form.

Any thoughts or advice are appreciated. :) Thank you!!!

Just realized this and wanted to share. Having gotten quite familiar with the acoustic "shape" of each letter at 30wpm farnsworth, I was listening to some regular 30wpm dialogue (from a book, not ragchew) and noticed it was much easier to hear and recognize common words like the, this, is, was, etc. I checked with farnsworth (20wpm/30 for chars) to compare and sure enough, I heard the letters clearly but it was much harder to recognize their relationship with each other.

Of course, this isn't a novel thought (it's the whole reason wordsworth exists), but I thought it might be useful to share. Maybe farnsworth is still useful for callsigns, though.
