How to Translate Morse Code?

  1. Enter Your Input: Type or paste into the top text box.
    • If you enter regular text (like "Hello"), the tool translates it into Morse code in the bottom box.
    • If you enter Morse code (like .... . .-.. .-.. ---), the tool translates it into text in the bottom box.
    • Use . for a dot and - for a dash. Use a single space between Morse code letters. Use a forward slash / or multiple spaces between words.
  2. View the Output: The translation appears instantly in the bottom box.

What is Morse Code?

Morse code is a system used to send messages. It uses short signals called dots (or dits) and long signals called dashes (or dahs). Samuel Morse helped invent this code for the telegraph long ago.

Each letter, number, and punctuation mark has its own unique pattern of dots and dashes. The timing is important:

  • A dash is about three times longer than a dot.
  • The space between parts of the same letter is one dot long.
  • The space between letters is three dots long.
  • The space between words is seven dots long.

Morse Code Letters

The most common Morse code is International Morse Code. It covers the English alphabet (A-Z) and numbers (0-9). Here is a chart showing the codes:

Different versions of Morse code exist for languages that do not use the English alphabet, such as Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and others. Our translator supports many of these.

Examples of Morse Code

Here are a few common examples:

  • SOS: ... --- ... (A universal distress signal)
  • HELLO: .... . .-.. .-.. ---
