Learn CW Online

I intend shortly to post to the general forum most of what is below. Although I suspect next to no one
is using MCPT. This capability, only applies to LCWO users because it uses the on-the-fly options
supported by the GUI.

If you would give it a read and let me know if it
makes sense, I'd appreciate it. Also at the end is a sample output which I'll also post so anyone can cut and paste it into the "Convert Text to CW" screen to try with the need to download MCPT
first.

The sample is 15/10 with the IWR words at 25 wpm. Of course everything is configurable.

Direct email me at wa2nfn@gmail.com if you have comments. Tnx

Example 37:
IWR (Instant Word Recognition) training

See options in sample optFile below.

The concept of this combination of options, is to give you a means of
listening to practice session of words to build up your ICR (Instant Character Recognition) and simultaneously begin to develop IWR (Instant Word Recognition).

Initially, your IWR word list would be only a word or two that are very short
like "the" or "and". The speed to hear these words at should be higher than
what you are practicing the other characters at, so that you will begin
to hear the IWR word as have a unique sound rahter than it being a series of
letters to make a word.
The sample option file below, explains the few required and optional options
to use this feature. You can of course type the options on the command line
or use an optFile as you like.

#
# this is a sample optFile to use instead of entering the options
# on the command line
# in this case this file has been named "opt.txt"
# to run, enter: mcpt -opt=opt.txt

# this opt names a text file that contains the "words" you want
# to learn as IWR (Instant Word Recognition). The format of the file is:
#
# 1 word per line! (spaces can be before or after the word)
# the word can be upper or lower case
LCWO_iwrFile=wd.txt

# inFile or textFile is the file of words to play
# for example some pages from a fiction book
inFile=in

# this is the WPM to play any words from LCW_iwrFile, which were found in
# the input file (inFile or textFile)
LCWO_iwr_wpm=25

# num is how many "words" to put in the output.
# ZERO is a special case, it means ALL the words that match!

# If you input had 10 words that meet the criteria (explained below)
# and you have num=50, then the output would repeat the same 10 words
# to get to 50.
num=0

# this means keep output in the same order as input (not random)
# This is REQUIRED for the IWR feature!
ordered

# this is the lowor normal speed of the characters that were NOT matched
# by the IWR file
LCWO_low=15

# this is the Farnsworth spacing speed, it MUST be lower than LCWO_low (if
# its used.
# Farnsworth is NOT required, and is NOT used for the faster IWR words.
LCWO_effective=10

# The "words" in the iput file MUST meet 2 criteria to not be filtered out.
# The word length must be met. Given by inLen=1:12 (for example, meaning
# words with 1-12 characters).
inLen=1:12

# inList, is the characters that a "words" can have without being
# filtered out. The default is all 26 letters, use the option for less; or
# use lesson=X where X is the lesson number you are at in LCWO.
# See the LCWO GUI or run: mcpt -help=tutors, and look at the LCWO column.
# FYI inList if used with inFile (not textFile) can have digits, prosigns,
# or .,?/
inList=A-Z

# outFile is a file name for the output. This is the file you use
# in LCWO's "Convert Text to CW" screen, to play code or make an MP3 file.
outFile=out.txt

# Lastly - Only the Tone setting on the LCWo screen will has effect, the
# speed is set in the file based on options above.
