Morse Code Translator
Convert plain text to Morse code or decode Morse code sequences into readable text.
Run tool
This online Morse code translator converts standard text into Morse code signals and decodes Morse sequences back into readable plain text. In encoding mode, letters and numbers map directly into dot-and-dash sequences separated by spaces, with words divided by forward slashes. The conversion handles letters without distinguishing uppercase from lowercase. Any character that lacks a defined Morse equivalent remains untouched in the converted output. When decoding, the tool reads dot-and-dash character groups separated by spaces and interprets slash tokens as word boundaries. If an unrecognized dot-dash combination appears in the Morse input, the translator outputs a question mark placeholder for that specific group. Running the tool with empty text returns a clean empty field. After you choose your translation mode and enter your text, the interface outputs the converted string alongside your chosen mode setting.
Instructions
- Enter your plain text or Morse code sequence in the Text box.
- Choose whether to encode text to Morse code or decode Morse code to text using the Mode option.
- Click Run to execute the conversion.
- View or copy the translated output from the result panel.
Examples
- Convert plain text to Morse code: entering 'SOS' when encoding produces '... --- ...'.
- Decode Morse code to plain text: entering '.... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..' when decoding produces 'HELLO WORLD'.
FAQ
How are spaces between words represented in Morse code?
When encoding text to Morse code, words are separated by a forward slash surrounded by spaces (' / ').
What happens when an unsupported character or unknown Morse sequence is entered?
Characters without a Morse mapping remain unchanged during encoding. When decoding, any Morse group that cannot be resolved produces a question mark.
Does case sensitivity affect Morse code encoding?
No. The encoder processes uppercase and lowercase English letters identically.
