Morse Code Translator — Free Online Tool
Translate text to Morse code and decode Morse code back to text.
About Morse Code Translator
The Morse Code Translator converts plain text into dots and dashes and decodes Morse code back into readable words. It supports the full set of letters, digits, and common punctuation, making it useful for amateur radio practice, scouting activities, and learning a classic communication system.
In text-to-Morse mode, spaces between words are represented with a forward slash so the message stays easy to read. In the reverse direction, the tool parses dot-and-dash sequences separated by spaces and rebuilds the original text, flagging any code it does not recognize.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I write Morse code for decoding?
Use dots and dashes, separate each letter with a space, and separate words with a forward slash.
Which characters are supported?
The translator handles the twenty-six English letters, the digits zero through nine, and a range of common punctuation marks.
What happens to unknown symbols?
Characters without a Morse equivalent are skipped when encoding, and unrecognized code groups are marked with a question mark when decoding.
Does it play the Morse sound?
This tool focuses on text translation rather than audio, so it shows the dots and dashes visually rather than playing tones.
