What Is a Morse Code Translator?
A Morse code translator converts letters and numbers into International Morse code (dots and dashes) and can decode Morse back into readable text. This free tool does both live in your browser — with play, flash, and tap.
Exact Definition
Encode: text → dots/dashes. Decode: Morse → text. Letter spaces inside words; / between words. Standard: International (ITU) Morse.
How to Use It
Type in the Text box for Morse, or paste Morse into the Morse panel to decode. Press Play signal for audio and light.
What Standard?
Patterns follow International (ITU) Morse — the global standard for A–Z, 0–9, and common punctuation.
Morse Code Alphabet
Click a character to insert it into the active field.

Common Morse Translator Mistakes
Most “wrong” Morse is spacing or the wrong alphabet — not a bad converter.
Letter Space vs Word Slash
Spaces separate letters inside a word. Use / (or a longer pause) between words. Without gaps, HELLO becomes an unreadable run-on string.
American vs International Morse
This translator uses International (ITU) Morse only. Old American Morse charts differ — verify here before tattoos, gifts, or radio practice.
Counting Dots vs Learning Rhythm
Counting symbols on a page is slow and error-prone. Play the signal and learn dit/dah rhythm — a dash is about three times a dot.
Wrong Field Direction
Type English in Text to encode. Paste dots and dashes into Morse to decode. Use swap if you started in the wrong panel.
