Morse code is a communication system that encodes letters and numbers as sequences of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). Developed in the 1830s by Samuel Morse, it was widely used in telegraphy and is still used in aviation, amateur radio, and emergency signalling.

How do I decode Morse code?

Switch to "Morse → Text" mode, enter your Morse code using dots and dashes with spaces between each letter, and the translator will instantly convert it back to readable text.

What does the audio playback do?

The "Play audio" button plays the Morse code as audible tones at 15 words per minute, allowing you to hear how the message sounds when transmitted.

What characters does the translator support?

The translator supports all 26 letters (A–Z), digits 0–9, and common punctuation including periods, commas, question marks, and more.

How do I separate words in Morse code input?

Use three spaces or a forward slash (/) between words when entering Morse code for decoding.

How It Works

Type any text into the input box and the translator instantly converts each character to its Morse code equivalent using the international Morse code standard (dots and dashes, spaces between letters, word separators between words). Switch to decode mode to paste Morse code and get the plain text back. Hit "Play audio" to hear the Morse code played as audible tones at 15 WPM using the Web Audio API — no plugins needed.
