About Morse Code Translator
Morse code has outlived the telegraph by well over a century because it needs almost nothing to work — a light, a buzzer, a tapped finger. It is still used in aviation beacons, in amateur radio, and in a great many puzzles and escape rooms.
This translator uses the International Morse standard: A–Z, the digits, and the punctuation marks that were formally assigned. The written convention of one space between letters and a slash between words is what makes a Morse string unambiguous on a page, since the timing that separates them when transmitted is not available in text.
Decoding goes the other way and is forgiving about extra whitespace, so Morse copied out of a puzzle usually translates without cleanup.
Frequently asked questions
How are words separated in written Morse?
Letters are separated by a single space and words by a forward slash. So SOS SOS is written ... --- ... / ... --- ...
Is this International Morse code?
Yes — the International Morse standard, which covers A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation. The older American Morse used different patterns for some letters and is not supported.
Does Morse code distinguish capitals?
No. Morse has no concept of case, so decoded output comes back in lower case and input is treated the same either way.
What happens to characters with no Morse equivalent?
They are skipped. Morse covers letters, digits and a limited set of punctuation; anything else, including emoji, has no representation.
Is it free?
Yes — unlimited use, no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you run it.
