Morse Code Translator
Translate text to Morse code and Morse code to text. Listen to the audio output and learn Morse code patterns.
Morse Code Reference
Use spaces between letters and / between words. Dot (.) = short signal, Dash (-) = long signal.
What Is Morse Code?
Morse code is a communication system that encodes text characters as sequences of dots and dashes (also called dits and dahs). Invented by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s, it was originally used for telegraph communication. Today it remains relevant in aviation, amateur radio, and as an accessibility tool.
How to Use This Translator

Morse Code Basics
Each letter is represented by a unique combination of dots (.) and dashes (-). The most common letters have the shortest codes: E is a single dot, T is a single dash. SOS — the universal distress signal — is "... --- ..." (three dots, three dashes, three dots). Spaces between letters are represented by a space, and between words by a forward slash (/).
