.... . .-.. .-.. ---
... --- ... — the distress pattern (three dots, three dashes, three dots).
.. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..-
.... . .-.. .--.
Readable Morse depends on gaps as much as on dots and dashes.
No space — dots and dashes run together (e.g. A is .-, not . -).
One space in written Morse. The encoder adds this automatically when you type a word.
Use / (or a double space when decoding). On the air, the gap is longer than between letters — about seven time units in standard timing.
This page focuses on encoding — turning readable text into dots and dashes.
Type English in the Text box and read Morse in the output panel. Ideal when you want to learn, copy, or transmit a written message.
Paste dots and dashes into the Morse panel and swap direction, or use the dedicated Morse decoder when it launches. The home translator already decodes both ways.
Encode here for quick “how do I write X in Morse?” searches. Decode on the home translator or decoder page when you have a signal to read back into English.
Quick answers before you encode your message.
Yes. Digits 0–9 map to five-symbol International Morse patterns. Type SOS 999 or any mixed message — numbers encode alongside letters.
Common marks are included: full stop, comma, question mark, apostrophe, slash, and others in the International set. Unsupported characters are skipped rather than guessed.
No. Input is treated as uppercase for encoding, so hello and HELLO produce the same Morse. Morse itself has no separate lowercase patterns.
Yes. Paste a paragraph into Text and copy the Morse output with one click. You can also paste Morse into the Morse panel and swap direction to decode on the fly.
