It’s taken me the best part of three years so far…

That’s nothing! It’s taken me 51 years so far, and no end in sight…

I am using that lcwo web site and it is the best I have found.

I find the tone quality of most of the computer-generated Morse
training aids sets my ears ringing even if I have the volume down to
just audible.

I used this one from F6DQN which I would recommend. I haven’t tried any web based aids, so can’t draw a comparison, though…

That’s nothing Brian. There are people who have owned computers for over a year who can’t touch type.

As a hunt-and-peck typist I can only sympathise!

Perhaps you should invest in a keyboard where the keys don’t move about and are always in the same positions Brian. Then within a few hours you’d learn where the various letters are and you’d no longer have to search them out.

But I’d miss the challenge! :wink:

It was hard enough to make the change from a mechanical typewriter that needed the keys hammering and didn’t go shooting off to infinity if you lingered in contact with the key…

The typewriter keys were in the same places as the computer keys. They haven’t moved for 130 years. It’s easy to type by touch, don’t look at the keys, look at the screen. Takes a day or so to know where the keys are. But you have to be persistent. Just like Morse, if you want it enough then you can do it!
