How it works
Type or paste anything into the input box and the Morse code translator converts it
instantly. Plain letters, digits and punctuation are encoded to International (ITU)
Morse code with a space between letters and a slash between words, so
SOS becomes ... --- .... Paste dots and dashes instead and
the tool auto-detects the direction and decodes Morse code back to text — it accepts
slashes or extra spaces as word breaks, and tolerates bullet and dash lookalikes
pasted from other sites.
Press Play sound to hear the code as real dot-and-dash beeps, generated
with the Web Audio API at the words-per-minute speed you choose. Characters that have no
Morse equivalent (emoji, for example) are listed in a warning instead of silently
disappearing, and invalid Morse sequences decode to ?. Everything runs in
your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type is uploaded, stored or logged.
Frequently asked questions
How do you write SOS in Morse code?
SOS is three dots, three dashes, three dots: "... --- ...". Type SOS into the input box and the translator shows it instantly, and you can press Play sound to hear the classic distress signal as dot-and-dash beeps.
How do I convert Morse code back to text?
Paste the dots and dashes into the input box — the tool auto-detects that it is Morse code and decodes it to text. Use a space between letters and a slash (or two or more spaces) between words; unrecognised sequences are shown as a question mark so you can spot typos.
Which letters, numbers and symbols does the Morse code chart include?
All 26 letters A–Z, the digits 0–9, and the standard ITU punctuation marks . , ? ' ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ @. The full alphabet chart is on the page, and anything without a Morse equivalent (such as emoji) is listed in a warning instead of being silently dropped.
