Morse Code Translator
The Morse Code Translator converts between plain text and the dots and dashes of Morse — both directions in one tool. Type a message and watch it become ... --- ... ; paste Morse (letters separated by spaces, words by /) and read it back as text. It covers A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation, which is everything standard International Morse carries.
How to use Morse Code Translator
- Type text, or paste Morse code, into the box.
- Choose the direction: Text → Morse or Morse → Text.
- Read the translation in the result box and copy it.
Supported behavior
- Letters in Morse output are separated by one space; words by ' / '.
- Decoding accepts slashes with or without surrounding spaces, and ignores repeated spaces.
- Characters with no Morse equivalent are reported in the status line instead of silently vanishing.
Best for
- Learning Morse for amateur radio or scouting.
- Decoding messages in games, puzzles and escape rooms.
- Turning names and callsigns into Morse for practice.
Limits
- Coverage is A–Z (no accents), 0–9 and basic punctuation (. , ? ' ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ @). Accented letters like é have no standard code here.
- This tool translates visually; it does not play audio beeps or flash signals.
Privacy notes
- Everything runs on your device: the text you type never leaves your browser.
- Your messages — secret or otherwise — are translated only on your device.

Morse Code Translator FAQ
How are words separated in Morse code here?
With a slash surrounded by spaces: '... --- ... / ... --- ...' is SOS SOS. Letters inside a word are separated by single spaces.
What is SOS in Morse code?
... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots. It is the international distress signal, chosen because it is unmistakable.
Can it decode Morse with sloppy spacing?
Mostly yes: repeated spaces collapse, and slashes work with or without spaces around them. Letters still need at least one space between them, or the decoder cannot tell where one letter ends.
