Morse Code Translator (Text ↔ Morse)
Welcome to our Morse Code Translator — an easy, fast tool to convert text to Morse code and Morse code to text instantly. Type, paste, or edit your message and get a real-time translation you can copy, share, or play as beeps/flash (depending on your device features).
What is a Morse Code Translator?
A Morse code translator converts letters, numbers, and common symbols into Morse code (dots and dashes), and decodes Morse back into readable text. Our tool follows the widely used international mapping for Morse characters and supports clean formatting for spacing between letters and words.
How to Use This Morse Code Translator
1) Translate Text to Morse Code
- 1 Type or paste your message in the Text box.
- 2 The Morse output appears automatically in the Morse box as you type.
- 3 Copy the result and use it anywhere (chat apps, social media, emails, notes).
2) Translate Morse Code to Text
- 1 Paste your Morse code into the Morse box.
- 2 Use . for a dot and - (or _) for a dash.
- 3 Separate letters with a space and separate words with a /.
- 4 The decoded text will appear automatically in the Text box.
Key Features
- • Instant conversion: real-time encoding and decoding while you type.
- • Copy-friendly output: quickly copy Morse for sharing or storing.
- • Clear formatting: letter spacing and word separators designed for readability.
- • Playback options: play/pause/stop/repeat Morse audio (and other outputs if available on your device).
Common Uses for Morse Code
Morse code is fun, practical, and surprisingly useful. People use a Morse code translator to:
- • Write secret messages to friends.
- • Create unique bios/usernames using dots and dashes.
- • Learn Morse by converting everyday phrases and practicing decoding.
- • Send short signals like distress or attention patterns (e.g., SOS).
- • Add "hidden" notes in documents, posters, or puzzles.
Morse code Letters
The following tables contain the Morse code letters, which include 26 letters and 10 numerals:
International Morse code for English alphabets
International Morse code for numbers
Quick Examples
Here are a few simple examples to help you read the format:
- • Hello -> .... . .-.. .-.. ---
- • Yes -> -.-- . ...
- • Good morning -> --. --- --- -.. / -- --- .-. -. .. -. --.
- • Thank you -> - .... .- -. -.- -.-- --- ..-
- • Please -> .--. .-.. . .- ... .
- • No -> -. ---
- • Goodbye -> --. --- --- -.. -... -.-- .
Notice how letters are separated by spaces, and words are separated by a forward slash /
About SOS (Quick Fact)
Many people assume "SOS" stands for a phrase, but historically it was chosen because it is easy to recognize in Morse: three dots, three dashes, and three dots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which characters are supported?
The translator supports the standard Latin alphabet (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and common punctuation used in international Morse. If you paste unusual symbols or emojis, they may not translate.
What format should I use when decoding Morse to text?
Use . for dots and - (or _) for dashes. Separate letters with a space and words with /.
Why do I see a "#" in the output?
A "#" typically means a character in your input is not supported or does not have a Morse equivalent in the current mapping. Try removing special symbols or converting them into plain text.
Can I learn Morse code using this tool?
Yes. A simple method is to convert short words, memorize a few letters at a time, and practice decoding daily. Start with common letters (E, T, A, N, I, M) and work your way up to full sentences.
What does 0100100001101001 mean?
This sequence is often mistaken for Morse code, but it is actually Binary code. 01001000 represents the letter H. 01101001 represents the letter i. Together, they spell "Hi". While Morse code uses dots and dashes (trinary duration logic), binary uses 0s and 1s to represent data states.
Is there an AI that can read Morse code?
Yes. Machine learning models have been trained to interpret rhythmic audio patterns. Tools like the "Morse Code Adaptive Audio Decoder" use these principles to listen to audio via a microphone, analyze the waveform, and convert it to text, even if the signal speed fluctuates.
