Morse Code Translator

One page works in both directions: type an ordinary phrase or a run of dots and dashes into the input, then pick the button you need. Morse turns up more often than people expect — in escape rooms and board games, in TV plot devices, in amateur radio practice, and in tattoos and engraved gifts where a phrase should look cryptic. The translation runs in the page script and stays in your tab. See also: encode the same message in binary, read ASCII codes back as characters, check your headphones before listening.

How to use it

  1. Paste your data into the Input box; the placeholder shows both forms, Hello World and .... . .-.. .-.. ---
  2. Press Encode to turn letters into dots and dashes.
  3. Press Decode when you already hold Morse and want readable text.
  4. Read the Output box: letters are separated by spaces and the boundary between words is marked with a slash.
  5. When decoding, mind the spacing — run two signals together and you get the wrong letter, because the space is what separates one character from the next.
  6. Select the Output content and copy it from the keyboard.

FAQ

How should spacing be written when decoding Morse?

A single space separates one letter from the next, and a slash marks the boundary between words. Drop a space and two letters fuse into a combination that does not exist, so the decoder returns a gap or the wrong character. Code transcribed by ear or from a photo is worth splitting carefully before you paste it in.

Is the Russian Morse alphabet supported?

The table is built on the international code for Latin letters and digits. Cyrillic letters have their own assignments in international Morse, and they are not handled here, so transliterate a Russian phrase first. For engraved keepsakes this is rarely a problem — the Latin form is what people expect anyway.

Are digits and punctuation encoded?

Digits from zero to nine have standard five-signal patterns and are translated. Punctuation is patchier: international Morse defines only a subset, and rarer marks may drop out of the result. If commas and full stops matter, proofread the output before you commit it to a product or a worksheet.

Can I hear the signal rather than just see it?

No. The page produces the written form only — dots, dashes and slashes, with no audio and no flashing. Practising reception by ear needs a dedicated trainer or amateur-radio software. Use this page as a lookup table and a quick translator for written code.

Does letter case matter when encoding?

Morse has no upper and lower case: the letter A has exactly one pattern however you wrote it. Case therefore has no effect on encoding, and decoded output comes back in a single form. Recovering the original capitalisation from Morse is impossible in principle.

Is the phrase I type sent anywhere?

No. Both buttons call a function inside the page that substitutes patterns from a built-in table. No network request is made, no history is kept, and refreshing the tab clears both boxes.
