This Morse code translator converts text into dots and dashes and decodes Morse back into plain text. It supports the full alphabet, numbers and common punctuation.
How to use the Morse translator
- Choose Text → Morse or Morse → Text.
- Paste your message, or your dots and dashes.
- Copy the translated result.
Reading the output
Within a word, a single space separates each letter; between words, a forward slash (/) marks the gap. So “SOS” is ... --- ... and “HI THERE” separates the two words with a slash. When decoding, use the same convention and the translator will read it correctly.
A quick history
Morse code represents each character as a sequence of short signals (dots) and long ones (dashes). Developed for the telegraph, it is still used in aviation and amateur radio, and famously for the distress signal ... --- .... It is also a fun cipher for puzzles and scouting badges.
