Convert text into Morse code dots and dashes, or translate Morse code back into plain English text. Listen to synthesized audio beeps of your message in real-time.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Enter Text or Morse Signals
Type plain English alphanumeric text or paste dots and dashes (`.` and `-`) into the converter input.
Automatic Direction Detection
The tool automatically detects whether your input is Latin text or Morse code and translates it instantly in real-time.
Listen to Audio Playback
Click the audio playback button to listen to your Morse code translated into calibrated 550Hz–700Hz sinusoidal audio beeps.
Copy or Share Morse Translation
Copy your formatted Morse signals with standard space delimiters between letters (` `) and forward slashes between words (`/`).

Frequently Asked Questions
What timing standards govern International Morse Code?
According to ITU-R M.1677-1 standards: a dot (dit) is the base unit of time (1 unit). A dash (dah) equals 3 dots. The duration between dits and dahs within a character is 1 dot. The gap between letters is 3 dots, and the gap between words is 7 dots.
How do you represent Morse code word breaks in text?
Standard text representation uses a single space between individual letter codes and a forward slash (` / `) or three spaces between distinct words to prevent ambiguity during decoding.
What is the famous SOS distress signal in Morse code?
The international distress signal SOS is coded as `... --- ...` (three dots, three dashes, three dots). In maritime radio procedure, it is transmitted as a single continuous 'prosign' without inter-character pauses.
Can I use this tool to learn and practice amateur radio (HAM) CW?
Yes. The built-in audio synthesizer lets you hear exact tone pitches and speed calibrations (Farnsworth timing / Paris standard WPM), making it ideal for HAM radio practice and CW licensing exams.
