Morse Code Translator
100% PrivateText & Writing ToolsTranslate text to Morse code and Morse back to text, with audio playback.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Choose a direction: Text to Morse or Morse to text.
- 2Type your message, or paste Morse using dots, dashes and / between words.
- 3Read the translation and copy it if you need it elsewhere.
- 4Press Play Morse sound to hear the code; adjust the speed slider first if you like.
Input: "SOS". The Morse result is: ... --- ... Input: "HELLO" gives .... . .-.. .-.. --- and "HELLO WORLD" adds / .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. for the second word.
- Playback timing follows standard Morse spacing: a dash lasts three dots, letters are separated by three units and words by seven.
- In text to Morse, characters with no Morse equivalent (like ~) are skipped.
- Decoding expects one space between letters and a / between words; very irregular spacing can produce an error naming the bad group.
Start at 10 to 15 WPM, the slider's middle range. The letters are formed at that speed with standard gaps, which is how training material is usually played.
About this tool
The Morse Code Translator converts text to International Morse code and Morse back to text, with sound playback at an adjustable speed. It follows the ITU standard alphabet for letters, digits and common punctuation, the same code used in radio and signalling worldwide.
