As soon as you press the "Play" button in the lesson it starts playing the first character, but my bluetooth headset might have a bit of delay before it starts playing audio I may miss the first few dit/dahs.

I think it would be very helpful to have a countdown timer (3 .. 2 .. 1 .. ) with a beep at each second - which would prime my bluetooth headset to re-establish the audio connection before the characters start.

Thoughts?

(I see the setting that lets you set a delay, but since there is no audio during the delay my BT headset still stutters when the dit/dahs start flying).

I see a similar issue on my setup using Firefox, with sound via HDMI.
When I did something else/freshly switch to the browsertab with LCWO and click the "play" button, the first characters are not output.

As countermeasure, before starting the normal 60sec word training, I click on one of the most recent letters. That plays that letter, also first few instances are not output, but after that the output is as expected.

I have 5sec "delay/countdown before the actual lesson starts" configured. I think, as countermeasure LCWO could right after I clicked the "play" button output something - not necessarily loud - and that should then lead to also have the first dits/dahs of the lesson directly audible for me.

A short countdown with an optional beep sounds like a useful quality-of-life feature. It would give learners a moment to get ready before each lesson starts instead of being caught off guard. Since I practice Morse code occasionally, I've found that having a brief pause before listening exercises helps me focus better. Small improvements like this can make learning feel much smoother https://morsecodetranslatr.com/
