About Morse Code Translator
Convert text to Morse code and decode Morse back into plain text in one place. It auto-detects which way to translate, or you can lock the direction. Letters are separated by spaces and words by a slash, following the standard International (ITU) Morse alphabet for letters, numbers, and common punctuation.
A built-in Play button beeps the code aloud so you can learn the rhythm, where a dash lasts three times as long as a dot. The tool is completely free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser — your text is translated on your own device and never uploaded to any server.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Morse code translator free to use?
- Yes, it is completely free with no account, sign-up, or download required. You can translate as much text or Morse code as you like, as often as you like.
- Is my data uploaded or stored anywhere?
- No. All translation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to a server, saved, or shared, so it is safe for private messages.
- How do I read the Morse output format?
- Each letter's dots and dashes are grouped together, letters are separated by a single space, and words are separated by a slash surrounded by spaces ( / ). For example, 'SOS' becomes '... --- ...'.
- Does it translate both text-to-Morse and Morse-to-text?
- Yes. Set Direction to Auto-detect and it figures out which way to go based on your input, or choose Text → Morse or Morse → Text to lock the direction. The Swap button flips the result back into the input.
- Can I hear the Morse code as sound?
- Yes. Once you have a result, press Play Morse to hear it beeped using your browser's audio. A dash sounds three times longer than a dot, with correct gaps between symbols, letters, and words. Press Stop to end playback.
- Which characters are supported?
- All 26 English letters, the digits 0-9, and common punctuation such as . , ? ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ and @. Unsupported characters are skipped when encoding, and unrecognized Morse sequences appear as a question mark when decoding.
