How to Translate Morse Code

To encode text, type your message in the text input and the Morse code output appears instantly. Each letter is represented by a unique combination of dots (.) and dashes (-). Letters are separated by spaces and words by a forward slash (/). To decode Morse, enter dots and dashes in the Morse input and the translated text appears automatically.

Morse Code Reference

Morse code was developed in the 1830s by Samuel Morse for use with the telegraph. Each character is represented by a unique sequence of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes). For example, SOS is ... --- .... The International Morse Code standard covers the Latin alphabet (A–Z), digits (0–9), and common punctuation marks. The reference chart built into this tool shows every supported character.
