A nice attempt to reinvent the wheel to try to aid in a novice condition called "key fright". However, you must purchase devices to connect to systems that already exist and without additional costs of buying extra gear. I consider this a masterful marketing strategy. I'm impressed with the attempt.
Fortunately there are somewhat cheaper alternatives that have been around for years. Chuck Broadwell's iCW site has been active for over ten years that I know of and costs nothing. iCW (Internet CW) is a site that has numerous channels to various clubs and keys (yes even for bugs and cootie lovers) It is accessed through Mumble, a common game server.. Also there is Sonobus, a peer to peer site that costs nothing as well. Mainly, musicians use this site to hook up other musicians to work with each other all over the world. Many CW operators use this site as well. Both are solutions that cost nothing and one need not buy any additional gear. But, what I have found that really works, is just get on the air..... The decoder is also a terrible idea. If anyone is interested in more info on these options, or to discuss other options like the numerous nets on various bands, the programs created by SKCC and others clubs that help stair-step new ops to competence, please feel free to contact me. I'm good on QRZ. 73, Phil W2OZB :"I only drop words that give the sentence meaning."
