I was using the G0HYN Learn Morse app on my Android phone. It's a free app. It let's you set the speed of the characters separately from the WPM, Farnsworth is what the setting was called. I kept my Farnsworth at 30 to force myself to learn the sounds instead of trying to count the dits and dahs, but used a slower WPM setting to process what I had heard.
It will do the alphabet, numbers and punctuation in both standard and Koch order, and adds more characters as you get more accurate at copying them. It also comes with some plain text files, or you can add your own, and it will play them back to you at the speed settings you choose. Good for learning the sound of common words and abbreviations used in actual QSOs.
I was getting pretty good after a couple weeks of 15-30 minutes a day, but then I got lazy and I've forgotten most of it again. I need to pick it back up and put in more effort this time.
