Translate text to Morse code or decode Morse code back to text.

Text ↔ Morse codeDots and dashesLocal text processingUpdated May 2026

Use dots and dashes separated by spaces. Slash ( / ) is commonly used to separate words.

Output is copy-ready. Unsupported symbols are warned instead of silently corrupted.

Dynamic Conversion Insights

Your text converts into 32 Morse dot/dash symbols.
Dots are short signals and dashes are longer signals.
Spaces separate Morse letters; slashes are commonly used between words.
No unsupported character or invalid Morse warnings detected.
Some punctuation may not exist in every Morse reference chart.
Audio playback speed is set to 18 WPM.

How Morse Code Works

Morse code represents characters using dots and dashes.

Each letter has a unique signal pattern.

Spaces separate letters and words.

Morse code was historically used in telegraph communication.

Modern Morse code standards support letters, numbers, and some punctuation.

Dots, Dashes, Spacing, and Timing

Dot

A short signal.

Dash

A longer signal.

Letter gap

Separates one Morse character from the next.

Word gap

Often shown as a slash in text-based Morse.

International Morse Code and Character Support Notes

International Morse code is the modern standard.
Not every Unicode symbol has a Morse mapping.
Punctuation support varies by implementation.
Morse code is usually represented online with ASCII dots and dashes.
Accented characters may need normalization or may not be supported.
Unsupported symbols are warned instead of silently corrupted.

Method Explanation

Text to Morse

  1. 1. Read the input text.
  2. 2. Normalize letters and supported symbols.
  3. 3. Look up each character in the Morse mapping table.
  4. 4. Separate letters and words using configured separators.
  5. 5. Render copy-ready Morse output.

Morse to Text

  1. 1. Read Morse symbols from the input.
  2. 2. Split symbols using spaces or configured separators.
  3. 3. Detect word boundaries.
  4. 4. Decode each Morse sequence using the reverse lookup table.
  5. 5. Show readable text and warnings for invalid sequences.
