Thanks to all the YLs and OMs who have worked with me so far!I'm able to decode Morse with pen and paper, as long as it's only 10–15 WPM, but that needs to improve.

I have already learned a few more phrases just by hearing them, like "TEST", "DE", "PSE K", "BK", "BT", etc. Nevertheless, I have issues with more conversational words like "sunny", but it will build up slowly, I'm sure.To help myself out, and to learn something new, I started building a terminal app for Morse decoding. It's built around a neural network that I trained and can pick up quite a bit of text really well.The interface is textual. These kinds of applications have a special place in my heart, as I grew up in the
