About Morse Code Translator

Morse code is a method of encoding text as a sequence of dots (·) and dashes (−) originally developed for telegraph communication. Each letter, digit, and punctuation mark has a unique sequence. This translator converts between plain text and international Morse code.

Morse Code Format

In Morse code text: dots are represented as ., dashes as -. Letters within a word are separated by a single space. Words are separated by /.

Frequently Asked Questions

Separate each letter's code with a single space, and separate words with a forward slash (/). For example: "HI THERE" becomes ".... .. / - .... . .-. ."

All 26 letters (A–Z, case-insensitive), digits 0–9, and common punctuation including period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, apostrophe, slash, dash, and more.

Characters without a Morse code mapping (such as most Unicode symbols) are skipped during encoding. A warning may appear if characters could not be translated.

International Morse Code (ITU) is the modern standard used worldwide and is what this tool implements. American Morse Code (Continental) was an older variant used in North American telegraphy and has different encodings for some characters.
