Morse code represents text with short and long signals called dots and dashes. International Morse code assigns a pattern to every letter, digit, and common punctuation mark, making it useful for radio, signaling practice, and historical telegraphy.

How to Decode or Translate Morse Code

  1. Choose a direction: Select Text to Morse or Morse to Text depending on the conversion you need.
  2. Enter text or Morse code: Type normal text or paste Morse code dots and dashes into the input field.
  3. Read or play the result: Copy the converted output or play it as Morse code audio with adjustable speed and tone.

Decode Morse Code to Text

Use the Morse code decoder when you already have dots and dashes and need readable text. Separate letters with spaces and use a slash for word breaks, for example ···· · ·−·· ·−·· −−− / ·−− −−− ·−· ·−·· −··.

Text to Morse Code Translator

The text to Morse code translator converts plain English letters, numbers, and supported punctuation into Morse code. It is useful for writing practice messages, checking Morse alphabet patterns, and preparing strings for audio playback.

Morse Code Alphabet

The table below shows the International Morse code alphabet and numbers supported by the translator.

A·−N−·0−−−−−
B−···O−−−1·−−−−
C−·−·P·−−·2··−−−
D−··Q−−·−3···−−
E·R·−·4····−
F··−·S···5·····
G−−·T6−····
H····U··−7−−···
I··V···−8−−−··
J·−−−W·−−9−−−−·
K−·−X−··−
L·−··Y−·−−
M−−Z−−··

Common Morse Code Signals

  • SOS: ··· −−− ··· (the universal distress signal)
  • HELLO: ···· · ·−·· ·−·· −−−
  • LOVE: ·−·· −−− ···− ·

Private Browser Conversion

Your Morse code conversions happen entirely in your browser. The decoder, translator, visual output, and audio playback run client-side, so your text is not sent to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I decode Morse code to text?
Yes. Switch to Morse to Text mode, paste dots and dashes, and the decoder converts Morse code into readable text in your browser.
Can I translate text to Morse code?
Yes. Text to Morse mode converts letters, numbers, and common punctuation into International Morse code dots and dashes instantly.
Can I hear Morse code audio?
Yes. Use the audio playback controls to listen to Morse code beeps, then adjust the speed in WPM and the tone frequency.
What Morse code alphabet is supported?
The translator supports the International Morse code alphabet A-Z, digits 0-9, and common punctuation marks such as period, comma, question mark, slash, and parentheses.
Is this Morse code decoder private?
Yes. Decoding and translation run entirely in your browser. Your text and Morse code are not sent to a server.
What is the difference between a decoder and a translator?
A Morse code decoder converts dots and dashes into text. A Morse code translator can also encode text into Morse code, so this tool supports both directions.
