Posted: 2022-04-26 23:09 | The existing option (only for users that can use LCWO's Convert text to CW, allows the random words selected from a file to be played at number of times, starting at a user defined LOW speed, and then for each repeat increase the speed.
The theory was if you are comfortable with the LOW speed, you should be ok hearing the word a little higher since you KNOW whats coming. Maybe this can help to increase word recognition at higher speeds.
The option file below, gives more details for those that want to experiment.
*** But after discussion with Kurt Zoglmann, the creator of Morse Code Ninja, he felt its better to start FAST (a mental stretch) and then drop down to your comfort level.
It turned out that without adding yet another option, I could make MCPT capable of this by just making the option LCWO_step (normal a positive increment) just be a decrement.
The notes are below, followed by a simple sample of each approach (LOW to HIGH, and HIGH to LOW) which you can just cut and paste into
Convert text to CW. If either are reasonable with YOUR selected speeds, words, etc. Then modify the options file and away you go.
# options file instead of entering them on the command line
#
# to use this file named "head.opt" run:
# mcpt -opt=head.opt
# note: it will create a file "out.txt" which you will give to LCWO's "Convert text to CW" page
out=out.txt
# the input file of "words" you want to practice is in a file called "head.txt"
# any space separated format
text=head
###### the lCWO options will send you each word at: 13, 16, 19, 22 wpm;
# followed by a delimiter, then repeat
# the lowest speed will be 13 wpm
#
# For your "low" speed, try 1 increment of step below your max speed. So you
# get 1 below max, one at max, and 2 or three above (2 in this demo)
#
LCWO_low=18
# the speed will change in steps of 3 wpm
LCWO_step=3
# each word from the file give by the [text] option will be played 4 times
LCWO_repeat=4
# put 1 of the delimiters in between each run of words as a mental alert
# that a new word is comming
# Note: if you make DM=0, or put a # BEFORE the DM= you will eliminat the
# delimiter feature
#DM=1
# I chose a few delimiters. You could could use just one, like delimiter=""; =+ could have been used for and
# you could have done many other delimiters like "next word", or none at all
delimiter=.|?|,|/||
##########
########## New in v 1.9! Just insert a "-" in the LCWO_step option OR
########## uncomment the line below and rerun mcpt -opt=head.opt
########## and now the speed for each word will begin HIGH and reduce down
########## to LCWO_low.
# speeds will be 22, 19, 16, 13 wpm
#
# LCWO_step=-3
