Morse Code Translator
Translate text to Morse code and back in real time, with audible Morse playback. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Type in either box — the other updates automatically. Letters are separated by a space, words by " / ".
How it works
- Type text in the left box, or Morse code in the right box.
- The other box updates instantly as you type — it works in both directions.
- Click Play Morse audio to hear it as beeps, or copy either box to your clipboard.
Each letter, digit, and common punctuation mark maps to a fixed pattern of dots and dashes
under the International Morse Code standard
— for example S is three dots (...)
and O is three dashes (---), which is where "SOS" gets its famous
... --- ... pattern.
FAQ
Does my text get sent anywhere?
No. Both directions of translation happen locally in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or logged.
How are letters and words separated in the Morse output?
A single space separates the Morse for each letter, and " / " (space-slash-space) separates words — the standard convention for writing Morse code as plain text.
What happens to characters that don't have a Morse code?
They're skipped, and a warning lists which ones — the rest of your text is still translated. Standard International Morse covers letters, digits, and common punctuation, but not every symbol.
Does it matter if I type in uppercase or lowercase?
No — Morse code doesn't distinguish case, so text is treated as uppercase when encoding. Decoded Morse always comes back as uppercase for the same reason.
What do the Play Morse audio beeps mean?
They follow standard Morse timing: a dash lasts three times as long as a dot, the gap between letters is three dot-lengths, and the gap between words is seven — so you can actually hear the code, not just read it.

A printed chart works for learning the alphabet, but you're doing every lookup yourself. Morse Code Translator handles both directions instantly in the same view, and lets you hear the actual timing — useful for practicing recognition by ear, not just by sight.
