Convert text to Morse code and decode Morse back to text

Morse Code Converter — Translate Text to Morse Code and Decode Morse Back to Text

  1. Type or paste text into the input field to convert to Morse code, or paste Morse code (dots and dashes) to decode back to plain text. The tool supports the international Morse code standard including letters A-Z, digits 0-9, and common punctuation.
  2. The converter translates in real time as you type. Morse output uses standard notation: dots (.) for short signals, dashes (-) for long signals, spaces between letters, and forward slashes (/) between words.
  3. Copy the Morse code output for learning, practice, or creative projects. The tool also plays the audio of each character, helping you learn the rhythm of Morse code by ear.

What is Morse code used for today and how is it structured?

Morse code, invented in the 1830s, remains relevant today in several domains: (1) Amateur (ham) radio — Morse (CW mode) can get through when voice signals cannot due to its narrow bandwidth and high signal-to-noise ratio. (2) Aviation — navigation beacons (VORs and NDBs) still transmit their identifiers in Morse code. (3) Accessibility — Morse can be used as an assistive communication method via eye blinks, breath, or single-switch input devices. (4) Emergency signaling — the universal SOS distress signal (... --- ...) is recognized worldwide. The code structure: each letter is represented by 1–4 elements (dots or dashes), with a dot being the basic time unit, a dash being 3 units, spacing between elements being 1 unit, between letters 3 units, and between words 7 units.
