I would welcome thoughts on how this might work. It seems to me that you could do this by having the keyboard appear so you could type along to copy the code as it is played. This could conceivably be scored in real time or after the fact to give some feedback on your copying skills.
My hesitation for this is that given the tendency for iPhone typing to be not quite as precise as typing on a keyboard plus the autocorrection features, I wonder if the typing would be the slow step, as compared to your ability to copy the code…? At least if you are writing on paper then you are much less likely to mis-type or get ‘incorrectly autocorrected’.
I could see this working for shorter passages of text or individual letters, however. I would welcome ideas and thoughts on how best to do something like this.

Add a "user's choice" RSS feed
On the setup page, have an entry box for a user to enter their personal RSS choice. On the left hand side "selector knob", add a corresponding selection on the knob that would choose the user's RSS choice they entered on the setup page box.

Randomize word length
Have 2 scroll wheels--one for min length and one for max. Default could be 5/5 for current functionality. It makes for a more realistic copy.

Select code lesson length in minutes
It would be nice to be able to select the code run lengths in minutes. i.e. each koch lesson need not be 5 minutes. Maybe I feel like only copying 1 or 2 minutes. (Yes, I can pause it and move to the next lesson but why not...)

You can't enter your own text?!
I guess I just wasted $5. More people would buy this if you could enter your own text and have it sound out in Morse Code. Yes, I understand this is a learning tool, but it would be fun to have a simple text to tone generator.

Number of letters scroll bar
I would appreciate being able to pick the number of letters given instead of simply groups. I find it easy to get overwhelmed by a large group of new letters. Maybe a scroll bar for the amount of letters as an option that would go sequentially through the groups you already have established. Once I have the characters learnt I would find the groups more useful to practice problem area's. Keep up the good work!

Please allow us to increase character speed but increase the space between words. And allow us to have longer word lists.

Allow people to create a own set of words
Every one has a words set more used in qso. I think would be usefull to allow users files in witch we can store one or more sets of personal words. This also would help to learn the "music" from words in other languages than only English.

Learning booster mode
Add operation mode whereby the app leaves a blank space to allow the operator to key in with a real key, at speed, the character or group just heard. In addition to the send practice drill, I believe this will also improve the ability to recognize a new character in Koch mode for example. 73!

Battery saving idea...
Could you consider a switch to turn off the screen? I do not need it whilst I am copying text and when I leave it running 'words' as I drop off to sleep I wake up with it lighting up the room :-)

Hi Paul, the problem I found was that when the screen goes to sleep the audio timing started to go completely off and the code becomes unreadable. To fix this I had to make the app turn off the auto sleep feature you would get with a normal app. I agree its not a great solution for battery life. I will at least try and see if I can have it act normally when its not playing code, that way it should turn off the screen and go to sleep a little while after the code is done playing.

More words
I would like more words added to the list. Many are very short. Another 500 would be great! Add ham words too, like antenna, rig, kenwood, etc. Or, allow the user to add words to the list.
