Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morse code?
Morse code encodes text as sequences of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals), originally developed for telegraph communication in the 1830s and 1840s. Every letter, number, and common punctuation mark has its own unique pattern.
How do I use this Morse code translator?
Choose a direction — Text to Morse or Morse to Text — then type or paste into the input box. The translated result appears instantly in the output box below.
What's the difference between a dot and a dash?
A dot (dit) is a short signal, one unit long. A dash (dah) is a long signal, three units long. Dots and dashes within a letter are separated by a one-unit pause, letters by a three-unit pause, and words by a seven-unit pause.
Can I listen to the Morse code as audio?
Yes. Click Play to hear the current Morse code as audio beeps generated locally by your browser. Use the speed slider to change the playback rate in words per minute (WPM).
Is my text private?
Yes. All translation and audio generation happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or sent to any server.
