Morse Code Translator
A Morse code translator converts text into the international Morse code alphabet (dots and dashes) and back, supporting letters, digits, and common punctuation. International Morse code was standardized specifically so operators using different languages and equipment could communicate over telegraph and radio using the same dot-dash patterns, which is why the same table still works for both directions of translation here without needing separate encode and decode rules.
How it works
- Choose a direction: text to Morse, or Morse to text.
- Enter your text or Morse code (dots and dashes, words separated by "/").
- Read the translated result.
Formula International Morse code table; letters separated by a space, words by " / "
Frequently asked questions
What characters are supported?
Letters A-Z, digits 0-9, and common punctuation (. , ? ' ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " @). Unsupported characters are skipped and listed, never silently corrupted into the wrong code.
How are words separated in Morse code?
Individual letters are separated by a single space; words are separated by a forward slash "/" surrounded by spaces, a common text-based Morse convention.
What does SOS look like in Morse code?
... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots, the internationally recognized distress signal.
What happens if I enter an invalid Morse code group?
It is shown as "?" in the decoded text rather than silently guessing or dropping it.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Translation runs entirely in your browser.
