Morse Code Translator
Type in either box and the other one follows. Letters are separated by spaces and words by a slash, the standard written convention, so the output can be read aloud, flashed or tapped.
How to use it
- Type or paste text in the first box to encode it.
- Or paste Morse in the second box to decode it.
- Copy whichever side you need.
Examples
- SOS → ... --- ...
- CleverCat → -.-. .-.. . ...- . .-. / -.-. .- -
- Accented letters are reduced to their base letter, so é becomes E.
Questions people ask
What are the timing rules?
A dash lasts three times a dot. Gaps are one dot between symbols, three between letters and seven between words. That rhythm is what makes Morse readable by ear, and it is the reason the written slash exists.
Is Morse code still used?
Rarely as a required skill, but it survives in aviation and marine beacons, in amateur radio, and as an accessible input method for people who cannot use a keyboard. SOS remains recognised worldwide.
