How the Morse Code Translator works

Each letter is converted to the International Morse code pattern of dots and dashes. Letters are separated by a space and words by a slash. The tool detects the direction automatically: input made only of dots, dashes, slashes and spaces is decoded.

You can change the symbols that represent dots and dashes, for example to use the middle dot and a longer dash that some printed charts use. Numbers and common punctuation such as full stops, commas, question marks and the at sign are included.

When it is useful

  • •Writing messages in Morse for tattoos, jewelry or design.
  • •Preparing text for flashing light or tapping exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are words separated?

With a slash surrounded by spaces. When decoding, a slash or a gap of three spaces is treated as a word break.

Which standard is used?

International Morse code as defined by the ITU, which is the version used in aviation and amateur radio.

Why do I see question marks in the decoded text?

A group of dots and dashes did not match any known character, often because of a typing mistake or a different symbol set.
