Morse code represents letters and numbers as sequences of dots and dashes — still used in amateur radio, aviation, and as a classic puzzle or learning exercise.
This tool translates in both directions using the International Morse Code standard: text to Morse, or Morse code back to readable text.
How it works
Enter text or Morse code and choose the direction. For text-to-Morse, each letter is converted to its dot-dash sequence, with letters separated by a space and words by " / ". For Morse-to-text, the tool reverses the process.
- Enter text or Morse code.
- Enter direction.

Examples
The classic distress signal
"SOS" translates to "... --- ...", one of the most widely recognized Morse code sequences.
Who should use it
- Learning or practicing Morse code.
- Decoding a Morse code puzzle or message.
Industry applications
- Amateur radio and telecommunications
- Education and puzzle creation
Advantages
- Translates in both directions using the standard International Morse Code table.
- Correctly handles multi-word phrases with proper word separators.
Limitations
- Covers the standard Latin-alphabet Morse Code table; some extended/regional variants aren't included.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a single space instead of " / " between words when writing Morse code by hand, making it ambiguous where one word ends and the next begins.
- Mixing up dots and dashes for visually similar letters when translating by hand.
Best practices
- Always use " / " between words when writing Morse code manually, to keep letter and word boundaries unambiguous.
Tips
- If you're learning Morse code, start with the most common letters (E, T, A, O) which have the shortest sequences, rather than trying to memorize the whole table at once.
