Morse Code Translator

This Morse code translator converts text to Morse code and back, instantly and entirely in your browser. Type a message to get its dots and dashes, or paste Morse to decode it to plain text. Press Play to hear it as audio at 10 to 30 words per minute, flash it as light, vibrate it on a phone, or download it as a WAV file — and nothing you type is ever sent to a server.

Letters, digits and punctuation use the codes in the international standard (ITU-R M.1677-1), plus widely listed extensions for a few symbols the standard leaves out. New to the code? Start with the Morse alphabet, keep the printable chart handy, then learn to read by ear with the Koch trainer and to send on the keyer.

What the translator handles

• 54 characters: A–Z, 0–9 and 18 punctuation marks (. , ? ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ @ ').
• Accented letters: É uses its ITU code (..-..) and Ñ the Spanish one (--.--); other accents are sent as the plain letter, so CAFÉ and ÜBER both work.
• Both directions, detected automatically: type text to get Morse, or paste Morse to get text. Letters are separated by spaces and words by /; the symbols · • ∙ are read as dots and – — − as dashes.
• Nothing silently dropped: any character or code it can't convert is listed under the result.
• Output: audio from 10 to 30 words per minute, a WAV download, a flashing light, phone vibration, NATO spelling and a link that reopens your message.
