How to Use the Morse Code Translator
This tool works in both directions. Type or paste text to convert it into Morse code, or paste Morse code to decode it back into readable text.
Text to Morse Code
Type any word, name, or sentence into the text box. The tool converts each letter, number, and space into standard International Morse Code, using a dot ( · ) for a short signal and a dash ( – ) for a long one. Letters are separated by a single space, and words are separated by a forward slash ( / ).
Morse Code to Text
Paste Morse code into the decoder using dots and dashes, with a space between each letter and a slash between words. The tool reads the pattern and converts it straight back into plain text. Prefer sound to typing? The Morse code audio decoder turns a live tone from your microphone, or a tapped key, straight into text.
