I don't see anything wrong using a computer program for a CW QSO.

Just remember not to send faster that the other operator can copy.

I haven't been on the air for years, but when I'm driving on multilane
highways I sound off (in my head) the letters on the license plates of
autos that pass me.

I found a link to listen to W1AW's Code Practice some months ago and
learned that I couldn't copy as fast as I use to.
