This program will send Morse Code by typing the text at the keyboard. It sends audio from your soundcard or you can use it as a keyer by connecting your serial port to your transmitter's key jack.

Twcw also works as a Keyer Extension for CWirc. CWirc is an XChat plugin for sending and receiving Morse code over the internet. It's a great place for people learning Morse. For more information about CWirc, see Pierre, F8EJF, here.

A new Practice Setup window allows you to pick the characters, numbers, and punctuation to be sent. This allows you to learn a few characters at a time. It will then generates random five letter groups. Random text is very good test, since you must copy everything - you can't anticipate what is going to be sent.

There is also a Farnsworth control. In Farnsworth mode, characters are sent at a "higher" speed, but additional time is added between character and words. This method lets you hear the characters at a "normal" speed, while providing extra time for learners to copy.


Xchat/CWirc - use twcw as a keyer for Xchat/CWirc to send and receive Morse over the internet.


Morse Practice - generates selectable, random 5 letter groups or send text files.


Farnsworth Timing - sends characters at a "higher" speed but provides extra time between characters and words.


Uses the real time clock device for code generation.


Macro Keys - create your own macros for sending short strings of text.


Interfaces with logs - Calls entered in log programs can be sent with a keystroke. Currently, this works with twlog and xlog.


Sends text from the keyboard.


Sends text from files. Text files can contain "place holders" which allow you to enter variable text, like contest numbers and signal reports.


Sends Morse from 5 to 50 words per minute.
