Morse Code Translator

Convert English letters, numbers, and common punctuation to dots and dashes, or decode written Morse back to text. You can listen to your message, adjust the sound, copy either result, save the code as text, and download a WAV recording.

Type or paste dots and dashes into the Morse code box. Separate letters with a space and words with a slash. The text updates immediately. Underscores and long dashes are accepted as dashes, while middle dots and bullets are accepted as dots. Three spaces or a line break can also separate words.

Yes. Press Listen or Play sound to hear synthesized tones with the timing of your message. You can pause, resume, stop, or repeat playback. Sound starts only after you press a playback button. If it is silent, check both the volume slider and your device volume.

Yes. WAV audio creates a real 16-bit mono WAV file on your device. It uses the same message, character speed, spacing, pitch, volume, and waveform settings as playback. Audio playback and export support messages up to five minutes; longer messages can still be translated and copied.

WPM means words per minute, using PARIS as the reference word. Character speed determines the length of each dot and dash. A lower Farnsworth effective speed adds space between characters and words while keeping the individual character sounds at the selected character speed.

A # marks an unsupported text character or an unrecognized Morse sequence. The message above the player lists the problem. Replace it yourself or use Remove unsupported. Playback is disabled until the input is valid, so the audio does not silently leave out part of your message.

This tool decodes written dots and dashes. It does not listen to a microphone or analyze uploaded recordings. You can enter a written sequence to decode it, then use the player to compare its sound with the pattern you are learning.

Yes. The text and Morse panels stack on a small screen, and the player works with touch controls. Modern browsers support sound playback after a tap. File downloads and copying depend on the features available in your browser.

The translator is free to use without an account. Conversion, sound generation, and WAV creation happen in your browser. Your message is not submitted to a translation or audio service, and this tool does not save it to a server.

This version supports the English A–Z alphabet, digits 0–9, and the punctuation shown by the translator. Lowercase letters become uppercase, and common Latin accents are folded to their base letters. Other writing systems and procedural signs are not included in the alphabet table.

The SOS example writes the letters separately as “... --- ...”. If you enter the continuous sequence “...---...”, it also decodes to SOS, and the player keeps that sequence continuous. The written separators affect the timing, even when the decoded letters are the same.

Morse is a published way to represent characters with signals. Anyone with the alphabet can read the result. It is useful for learning, puzzles, and playful messages, but changing text into dots and dashes does not make the content secret.
