Morse code translator

Morse code represents letters and numbers with dots and dashes. Enter ordinary text to encode it, or paste Morse symbols to decode them. Separate letters with spaces and words with /.

Common uses

Learning telegraph and radio communication
Creating puzzles, games, and educational activities
Converting short messages for signs or labels

const morse = { A: ".-", B: "-...", C: "-.-." };
const encoded = "ABC".split("").map((ch) => morse[ch]).join(" ");

Input	Output
`SOS`	`... --- ...`
`HELLO WORLD`	`.... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..`

Frequently Asked Questions

What characters can be converted to Morse code?: This tool supports all 26 Latin letters (A–Z), digits 0–9, and common punctuation (. , ? ! ' / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ @). Unsupported characters are skipped or passed through.
How is Morse code structured?: Dots (·) represent short signals and dashes (−) represent long signals. Letters are separated by spaces and words by ' / ' (slash with spaces). The standard dit duration is 1 unit; a dah is 3 units.
Is there audio playback?: This tool focuses on visual translation. For audio playback, dedicated Morse code training apps such as G4FON or LCWO are recommended.
Can I decode Morse code back to text?: Yes — paste Morse code using dots and dashes (. and -) and the tool will translate it back to plain text. Separate letters with a space and words with ' / '.
