Morse Code Translator

What this tool does

This Morse Code Translator converts plain text into International Morse code and decodes Morse code back into readable text. It covers the full A-Z alphabet, the digits 0-9, and common punctuation such as period, comma, question mark, slash, and the at sign. Following the international standard, letters within a word are separated by a single space, and words are separated by a forward slash (/). Everything runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is ever uploaded or stored.

Encoding and decoding, both ways

Leave the direction on Auto-detect and the tool decides for you: if your input contains only dots, dashes, spaces, and slashes, it decodes to text; otherwise it encodes your text to Morse. You can also force Text → Morse or Morse → Text from the dropdown. When encoding, any character without a standard Morse equivalent is skipped and listed below the result. When decoding, an unknown code is shown as & a replacement mark so you can spot typos in your dots and dashes.

How to use it

1. Pick a direction, or leave it on Auto-detect.
2. Type or paste your message into the Input box.
3. Read the translation instantly in the Result box below.
4. When pasting Morse, separate letters with spaces and words with a slash (/).
5. Click Copy result to grab the output, or Swap in/out to translate it back the other way.
