Morse Code Translator

Translate text to Morse code and Morse code back to text, using the international standard.

How to use the Morse Code

  1. 01

    Choose whether to encode text or decode Morse.

  2. 02

    Type or paste your text or Morse code.

  3. 03

    Copy the result, or use swap to translate it back.

What it does

This Morse code translator converts text to Morse and Morse back to text, using the international (ITU) standard, with a one-tap swap to switch direction.

How Morse code works

Morse code represents each letter and digit as a sequence of dots and dashes. It was the backbone of early telegraph and radio communication and is still used in aviation, amateur radio and as an accessible signaling method.

The most famous sequence, SOS, is three dots, three dashes, three dots. Morse has no upper and lower case, so encoding gives the same result however you type, and decoded text is shown in lower case.

Spacing and supported characters

In the output, letters are separated by a single space and words by a slash. When decoding, the tool is forgiving and also accepts a larger gap between words, so pasted Morse from different sources still works.

It supports all letters, digits and the common punctuation of the international standard. Characters that have no Morse representation are simply skipped rather than producing an error.

When it is useful and privacy

It is handy for learning Morse, solving puzzles or decoding a message, and runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How are words separated in Morse code?

Letters are separated by a single space and words by a slash. When decoding, the tool also accepts a larger gap between words.

Which characters are supported?

All letters, digits and the common punctuation marks of the international Morse standard. Characters without a Morse representation are skipped.

Is it case sensitive?

No. Morse code has no upper and lower case, so encoded output is the same regardless of how you type, and decoded text is shown in lower case.

What is SOS in Morse code?

SOS is the international distress signal, written as three dots, three dashes, three dots ( ... --- ... ), chosen because it is simple and unmistakable.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Translation runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type leaves your device.
