Morse Code Translator - With Real Sound
Morse code carried the world's messages for over a century - and scouts, radio hobbyists and puzzle-makers still use it daily. Type text to get its code, paste code to read a message, and press Play to hear exactly how it sounds.
How to use the Morse Code Translator
- Type plain text, or paste Morse code (dots, dashes, spaces between letters, / between words).
- Click the direction you want - Text to Morse, or Morse to Text.
- Press Play Morse Sound to hear the code beeped at a steady, learnable pace.
How it works
Every letter and digit has an official International Morse pattern - S is three dots, O is three dashes, which is why SOS (··· --- ···) became the world's distress call. The translator maps each character to its pattern, joining letters with spaces and words with a slash. The player uses your device's audio to beep a dot for one unit, a dash for three units, with one unit of silence between symbols - the real timing rules radio operators learn.
Worked example
Type 'HELLO' and you get '.... . .-.. .-.. ---'. Paste '... --- ...' the other way and you get 'SOS' - the most famous three letters in Morse history.
