Free Morse Code Translator — Text to Morse and Back, with Sound
Morse code represents each letter and number with a pattern of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes). Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail developed it in the 1830s and 1840s for the telegraph, and it is still used by radio amateurs, pilots, sailors and in accessibility devices. This translator converts in both directions as you type.
Type normal text to get dots and dashes, or paste Morse (using . and - with spaces between letters and a slash between words) to decode it. Press Play to hear it as audio, and adjust the speed and pitch to practise copying or to send it to a friend.

Tips for the best results
- Separate letters with a space and words with a slash (/).
- Start slow — about 10 WPM — and increase speed as you improve.
- Use the audio at a comfortable pitch (around 600 Hz) for copying practice.
- Check your Morse by decoding it back to text.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Running letters together without spaces, which makes the code ambiguous.
- Using unsupported symbols — they are skipped or shown as a question mark.
- Confusing a dash (-) with an underscore or an en dash when pasting.
