Morse Code Translator

Morse Code Translator is a free browser tool that converts text into International Morse code and Morse code back into text, with no account and no mode switch. You type in either panel: edit the text panel and the Morse panel becomes the result, or paste dots and dashes into the Morse panel and the text panel updates instead.

Encoding follows the conventions a reader needs to decode the signal correctly. A single space separates the Morse groups of one character, and a slash marks the boundary between words, so "... --- ..." reads as SOS and ".... .. / - .... . .-. ." reads as HI THERE. In playback the same structure becomes timing: one unit inside a character, three units between characters and seven units between words. Unsupported characters and unknown sequences are marked in place rather than dropped, so an incomplete message never looks finished.

Results can be copied, played aloud, saved as a plain text file, or rendered as a WAV audio file generated in the browser from the same timing used for playback. Playback speed is set with words-per-minute presets for learning, standard and fast use, and the tone and volume can be adjusted before you listen. Repeat, flash and vibrate options are available, and counters for characters, words, Morse marks and estimated duration give a quick check on whether a separator or an unsupported character slipped in.

The tool uses one shared ITU International Morse dataset for conversion, the alphabet reference, sound playback and WAV output, covering A-Z, 0-9, common punctuation and explicit prosigns. Other writing systems and American Morse follow different conventions and are not mixed into the result.

Everything runs locally in the browser: translation, playback and file generation never send the visitor text or Morse input to a server, and the analytics do not receive the message. A share link stores the message in the URL fragment after the hash, which ordinary requests do not transmit, so the value travels only to whoever receives the complete link.

Reference material supports the tool: a full Morse alphabet page, a guide to the timing method for learners, worked examples such as SOS and HELLO WORLD, and notes on writing Morse that decodes cleanly.
