Free Morse Code Translator (Text ⇄ Morse + Audio)

What this tool does

Morse code represents each letter and number as a pattern of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes). This translator converts ordinary text into Morse and decodes Morse back into readable text, and it can play the code out loud as tones so you can hear the rhythm — useful for learning, teaching, puzzles, and hobby radio.

How to use it

It is instant:

  • Choose a direction: Text → Morse or Morse → Text.
  • Type or paste your message.
  • Press Play to hear it as beeps, and pick a speed in words per minute.
  • Copy the output with one click.

How to read the output

In the Morse output, one space separates letters and a forward slash (<code>/</code>) separates words — the standard way to write Morse in text. When decoding, keep one space between letters and a slash between words so the translator can tell them apart. Dots are short, dashes are three times as long, and the gaps follow the same timing when you play the audio.

Characters supported

The translator covers the full A–Z alphabet, the digits 0–9, and common punctuation such as period, comma, question mark, slash, parentheses, colon, and the at sign. Characters without a standard Morse equivalent are flagged so you know they were skipped, which keeps decoding predictable.

Learning with audio

Hearing Morse is the fastest way to learn it, because operators recognise letters by their sound pattern rather than by counting dots and dashes. Play a word at a comfortable speed, then increase the words-per-minute setting as you improve. The famous distress signal SOS (··· ––– ···) is a great first pattern to memorise.

Privacy

Encoding, decoding, and audio playback all happen locally in your browser using the built-in Web Audio API — nothing you type is uploaded, logged, or stored. You can translate private messages or practice text without anything leaving your device.

FAQ

Is this Morse code translator free?
Yes. It is completely free, runs in your browser, and needs no account or sign-up.
Can it play Morse as sound?
Yes. Press Play to hear the code as audio beeps, with an adjustable speed in words per minute.
How are words separated in the Morse output?
Letters are separated by a single space and words by a forward slash (/), which is the standard convention for writing Morse in plain text.
Which characters can it translate?
The A–Z alphabet, digits 0–9, and common punctuation. Unsupported characters are flagged rather than silently dropped.
Is Morse code case sensitive?
No. Morse has no separate upper and lower case, so text is treated the same regardless of capitalization.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Translation and audio playback run entirely in your browser, so your text stays on your device.
What is SOS in Morse code?
SOS is ··· ––– ··· — three dots, three dashes, three dots. It is the internationally recognised distress signal and a common first pattern to learn.
