Type a message to see its dots and dashes, or paste Morse to read it.
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.
With a slash surrounded by spaces. When decoding, a slash or a gap of three spaces is treated as a word break.
International Morse code as defined by the ITU, which is the version used in aviation and amateur radio.
A group of dots and dashes did not match any known character, often because of a typing mistake or a different symbol set.
