That's actually pretty much what I have used CW Skimmer for in several contests. I feed the audio from my K3 into my computer sound card, and I use CW Skimmer in "Audio Mode" (essentially single single frequency audio bandwidth) without the decoding feature enabled. In other words, I use CW Skimmer purely for it's excellent waterfall (sharpest and clearest I've seen amongst similar software) that scrolls from right to left so that the display can be visibly decoded by eye in the proper orientation (reading left to right). I even wrote a couple of AutoHotKey macros to have CW Skimmer pause/unpause the display when I realize I've missed a character. Even without the pause macro I can fit about twelve seconds worth of readable history on my 22 inch display.
It took a bit of recalibration to learn how to decode by eye and I don't have to use it often, but at times it comes in very handy to avoid repeat requests.

If we are in the realm of science fiction, here is what I want (after my flying car): Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to you? The information is still there, sitting in the memory of the P3, scrolling down the waterfall. On a large monitor it is there for a long time. What if you could click on a spot on the screen with a mouse and play it back? Instant replay! Vic K2VCO/4X6GP
