Type or Paste Plain Text
Enter letters, numbers, and common punctuation in the Text panel. Case does not matter — Morse has no separate lowercase set.
Free Morse code converter — turn text into dots and dashes or Morse back into English. Play audio, flash light, tap, and copy. Instant, no signup.
Convert either way — type English in Text, or paste Morse in Morse. Use the swap button to flip direction instantly.
Short tap = dot · hold longer = dash
Click a letter or number to add it to the active field — useful when converting character by character in either direction.
English in → International Morse out. Same ProSignal panels; Text is your starting point.
Enter letters, numbers, and common punctuation in the Text panel. Case does not matter — Morse has no separate lowercase set.
Each character becomes dots and dashes. Letters are spaced with a single gap; words are separated by a forward slash (/).
Use Copy to paste into notes or messages. Press Play signal for tone and lamp flash so you can check the rhythm.
Lower the speed while you study spacing, then raise it toward operating pace. Tone frequency is adjustable for comfort.
Dots and dashes in → readable English out. Start in the Morse panel or flip with swap.
Drop your written signal into Morse. Use . and - (or common Unicode dots/dashes). Leave a space between letter groups.
Separate words with / (or a clear longer gap when the source was audio). Example: .. / .-.. --- ...- . for I LOVE.
Decoded English updates as you edit. If you typed into Text by mistake, hit the swap button to reverse the active direction.
Play the Morse back to confirm letter spacing. Most “wrong” conversions are missing spaces between letters, not wrong symbols.
Same engine, different search intents — pick the page that matches what you came to do.
Bidirectional by design: text↔Morse are equal peers. Best when you need one tool that switches direction without changing pages.
The home Morse translator is the full hub — two-way conversion plus the wider toolkit and site navigation. Use it when you want the main destination, not a single-intent landing page.
A Morse decoder emphasises Morse → text: paste dots and dashes first, read English second. Ideal for “what does this signal say?” queries.
An encoder (see text to Morse) emphasises English → Morse: type a message, get the coded output. Ideal for “how do I write X in Morse?” queries.
Try these both ways — encode from Text, or paste the Morse string to decode.
HELLO ↔ .... . .-.. .-.. ---
SOS ↔ ... --- ... — three letters, normal letter spacing between them.
CQ ↔ -.-. --.- — the classic general call used on the air.
GOOD DAY ↔ --. --- --- -.. / -.. .- -.-- — slash marks the word break.
Written Morse uses spaces and slashes; on-air Morse uses proportional time units.
A dot (dit) is 1 unit. A dash (dah) is 3 units. The gap inside a letter is 1 unit — that is why .- is one letter (A), not two symbols with a pause.
Letter gap ≈ 3 units (one space in writing). Word gap ≈ 7 units (written as /). Wrong gaps are the main reason converters “fail” on pasted strings.
The speed slider scales those units when you press Play. Conversion of the written text happens instantly; WPM only affects playback and tapping practice.
