Morse Code Translator (Text to Morse, Audio Beeps & Decoder)
Encode text to international Morse code dots and dashes, play audio beeps, and decode Morse code back to English.
TL;DR: Morse Code Translator converts English text to International Morse Code (dots `.` and dashes `-`) and decodes Morse code back to English with real-time audio sound synthesis and visual playback.
What Are the Rules of International Morse Code Timing?
International Morse Code timing is standardized around the duration of one 'dot' (1 unit). A 'dash' equals 3 units. The space between dots and dashes within the same letter is 1 unit. The space between letters in a word is 3 units, and the space between separate words is 7 units (often represented by `/` in written Morse).
How to Use the Morse Code Translator
Our Morse Code Translator performs high-speed text processing directly in your browser with zero latency and complete privacy.
- Type or paste English text or Morse code into the input editor.
- Select translation direction: 'Text to Morse' or 'Morse to Text'.
- View the translated output updated in real time.
- Click 'Play Audio' to listen to synthesized sound beeps (standard 550 Hz oscillator).
- Copy the translated Morse code or plain text.
Key Capabilities & Pro Tips
- Standard SOS Signal: SOS in Morse code is `... --- ...` (three dots, three dashes, three dots).
- Word Separators: Written Morse code uses a slash `/` or multiple spaces to indicate boundaries between words.
- Web Audio Beeps: Uses the browser Web Audio API oscillator for crisp, authentic CW radio tone generation.
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee
All text transformations, lexical analysis, character counts, and diff comparisons occur 100% locally inside your web browser. Your confidential drafts, notes, and datasets are never uploaded to or stored on any external server.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Type your message into the translator. The tool converts every letter and number into standard International Morse Code dots (`.`) and dashes (`-`).
- Paste your Morse code into the tool and select 'Morse to Text'. The decoder translates the dots and dashes back into readable English text.
- The universal distress signal SOS is `... --- ...` (3 dots, 3 dashes, 3 dots).
- Yes. Click 'Play Audio' to hear the message played as authentic 550Hz acoustic audio beeps at standard radio speeds.
- The translator supports standard punctuation including period (`.-.-.-`), comma (`--..--`), question mark (`..--..`), and slash (`-..-.`).
- Yes. The translator is bidirectional, converting text to Morse code (dots and dashes) and decoding Morse code strings back into readable text.
- Yes. The tool features an audio synthesizer that beeps the Morse code dot and dash tones using Web Audio API.
