  2. Type your text, or paste Morse with a space between letters and a slash (/) between words.
  3. Copy the result, or press Swap to convert it back.

How Morse code is written

Each letter is a pattern of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes): E is a single dot, T a single dash, and SOS is ... --- .... In written Morse, letters are separated by a space and words by a slash, so 'Hi there' is .... .. / - .... . .-. . This converter uses that standard international code for A to Z, 0 to 9 and common punctuation such as . , ? ! and @.

When decoding, three or more spaces in a row also count as a word break. Output text is shown in capitals, as Morse doesn't distinguish upper and lower case.

Characters that can't be converted

Letters with accents and characters outside the standard set have no Morse code here, so they're skipped when encoding. When decoding, an unknown pattern shows an error so you can check the spacing.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Learning Morse code and checking your practice.
  • Decoding a Morse message in a puzzle, film or escape room.
  • Writing a message in Morse for a card, bracelet or tattoo.
  • Scouting, ham radio and survival skills practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SOS in Morse code?

... --- ... (three dots, three dashes, three dots).

How do I separate words in Morse?

Use a slash with spaces around it ( / ), or three or more spaces.

Why did it say my Morse is invalid?

A pattern isn't in the standard code, often because two letters ran together without a space.

Can it play the Morse as sound?

No, it converts text only.
