Morse code translator
Type text and see it as Morse code instantly – or paste Morse code and read the plain text. Press “Play” to hear the result and watch it as a flashing light.
How Morse code is written down
- Dots and dashes: · and –. When pasting,
.and-work too. - Between letters: a space, e.g. ··· ––– ··· for SOS.
- Between words: a slash, e.g. ···· · ·–·· ·–·· ––– / ·–– ––– ·–· ·–·· –·· for HELLO WORLD.
Morse has no upper or lower case. Unknown characters such as emojis are skipped. When translating back, a question mark appears if a sequence matches no character.
Examples
| Text | Morse code | Listen |
|---|---|---|
| SOS | ··· ––– ··· | |
| HELLO | ···· · ·–·· ·–·· ––– | |
| THANK YOU | – ···· ·– –· –·– / –·–– ––– ··– | |
| I LOVE YOU | ·· / ·–·· ––– ···– · / –·–– ––– ··– | |
| 73 | ––··· ···–– |
