Morse Code Converter
The Morse Code Converter translates text into Morse code and decodes Morse back to text, and can play the dots and dashes as audio so you can hear the signal.
Encode, decode, and listen
Type a message to get its Morse code (for example SOS is ··· −−− ···), or paste Morse to convert it back to letters. The audio playback beeps the signal at a chosen speed, which is how Morse is traditionally learned - by sound rather than by reading dots on a page.
A bit of history
Morse code encodes each letter and numeral as a unique sequence of short (dot) and long (dash) signals. Developed for the telegraph in the 1830s–40s, it is still used in aviation, amateur radio, and accessibility. The tool is great for students, radio hobbyists, puzzles, and geocaching.
