Morse code turns letters into short and long signals, dots and dashes, and it has carried messages by telegraph, radio, light and sound since the 1840s. Amateur radio operators still use it daily, pilots hear it in navigation-beacon identifiers, and it remains a favourite for puzzles, escape rooms, jewellery and secret messages. This free Morse code translator converts both ways as you type. Type text to get International Morse code, with letters separated by spaces and words by a slash, or paste Morse to decode it back to text. It understands dots and dashes written as . and -, as well as ·, •, _ and —. It covers the full International Morse set: A–Z, digits, common punctuation such as the full stop, comma, question mark and @, and the famous SOS prosign. Press Play to hear your message as proper Morse audio generated in your browser, with adjustable speed in words per minute (WPM, using the standard PARIS timing), tone pitch and optional Farnsworth spacing, which keeps characters fast but adds longer gaps between them, the recommended way to learn by ear. A flashing light shows the same signal visually, and you can download the audio as a WAV file. Characters that have no Morse equivalent are flagged rather than silently dropped. It all runs offline in your browser.
