[CW] Best Computer Code Reader??

I am just now completing a fairly elaborate remotely controlled HF 
site.  All control is via  Wiondows XP remote desktop, internet, and 
computers.  All of the pieces are in place and operating except one. 

I have yet to find a really accurate software program to read CW at the 
remote site.  MixW does a great job for sending and receiving RTTY, 
PSK31, and related digi modes, but is hopeless for CW.  Hamscope is fair 
as a CW reader, and CwGet seems to read about as well or a little 
better, but both still leave a lot to be desired.

My question is, whether there is a REALLY accurate software CW reader 
out there that might be used at the remote site, so that audio doesn't 
have to be brought to my home control site for copy-by-ear.  Ear copy 
can be made to work, esp. with VOip programs, but it's very  complicated 
compared to programs like MixW that allow operation on just about any 
digi mode with no audio needed at home location (the remote visual 
spectrum displayed via remote desktop is more than adequate for tuning).

Any advice would be much appreciated!  Many tks es vy 73 to all.  Jan N0JR
