Introduction to Morse Code Converter

Our Morse code converter lets you convert text into Morse code and vice versa. You can input Morse code to get it in text form, or you can input plain text and have it translated into the language of dots and dashes.

Our Morse code decoder/encoder is very easy to use. All you need to do is enter your input, and the output will be provided in real time.

There are many different features that you can enjoy with our Morse translator. You can view the Morse code in light flashes or hear the audio version. You can also control the speed of the code. Learn more about the features in the content below

How to Use Our Morse Code Translator? how-work-image

There are two different ways you can use this Morse code translator. You can either use it to convert text to Morse code, or the opposite. We’re going to tell you how to do both.

Text to Morse Code

If you want to convert a string of text to Morse code, follow these steps:

  1. First, select the mode that says “Text to Morse Code”.
  2. Then, enter the string you want to convert in the provided input space.
  3. You can also click on the upload button to directly fetch a file from your local storage.
  4. As soon as you enter the text in the box or upload a file, the translation in Morse code will appear in the output box.
  5. You can use the provided buttons to easily copy the Morse code to your clipboard or download it to your device in three different file types (document, image, and audio).

(You can also listen to your Morse message in the form of beeps by using the “Play” option. There is also a feature to create a flashing display of the message.)

Morse Code to Text

If you want to convert some existing Morse code into text, here are the steps that you can follow:

  1. Select the mode that says “Morse code to text
  2. Then, enter the Morse code that you want to convert to text in the provided input box (Unlike the “Text to Morse” mode, there is no option here for uploading a file from the local storage.)
  3. Once you enter the Morse code, it will be instantly converted to text form. You can select it with your cursor and then copy it to your clipboard.

Configure Sounds

Click on “Configure” if you want to make any changes to the following:

  • Alphabets: There are eight different alphabets/scripts that you can choose from when using our Morse code translating tool. You can select from alphabets such as English, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Latin, etc.
  • Frequency: The frequency option determines the frequency of the sounds (beeps). If you set the frequency to a low value, the sound will be heavier, whereas at a higher value, the sound will be shrill.
  • Character Speed: The character speed determines how fast the dits and dahs (or the beeps or flashes) in Morse code are shown for each character. This speed is denoted in WPM (Words per minute).
  • Farnsworth Speed: The Farnsworth speed decides the space or interval between each letter and word. If this speed is set to be high, there will be a bigger pause between the letters and words.
  • Volume: This is the volume of the audio feedback of the Morse code.
Alphabets
English
"Telegraph Sounder" is the original clicky noise mostly used with American (not International) Morse; the "CW Radio Tone" is the modern beep sound used in radio.
Frequency (Hz)
500
Frequency in Hz. A high number makes a high pitched sound. 550 is a good value.
Character speed
23
The character speed in words per minute, taking PARIS as the standard word.
Farnsworth speed
23
The Farnsworth speed adjusts the space between letters and words, making it easier to learn Morse. It should be a lower value than the speed.
Volume 100
Volume from 0 to 100.

Morse Code Generator - Convert Text Into Morse Code

Our Morse code generator is great for generating text to Morse code. You can use it for all types of purposes, such as: 

  • Learning Morse code: If you are interested in learning Morse code, you can use our tool to easily see how alphabets and numbers are represented in dots and dashes. The audio feedback and the light flashing feedback can make the learning process even easier.
  • Having secret conversations: Another use of our tool is when you need to have a secret conversation with another person. You can convert a standard text message into Morse and then send it to a friend or a family member to have a secret conversation.

Morse Code Decoder - Translate Morse Code Into Text

With the help of our Morse code decoder, you can also convert Morse code into text. You can select the mode provided at the top of the input box and then simply enter the Morse code into the space on the left. It will be converted to text in real-time. This can be helpful in a number of different scenarios as well.  For example, you can use it to:

  • Convert old and historic Morse messages into text: If you are an enthusiast of studying recent history, you may come across some episodes from the late 19th century and 20th century that feature the use of Morse code. You can use Morse translator to understand the meaning of old Morse code messages and build your knowledge.
  • Understand Morse code messages from amateur radio: Another possible use of our Morse code decoder is for when you need to understand messages sent out by amateur radio or “HAM” radio. People send out Morse code on Ham radio for fun. If you get a message like this, you can note the Morse code down manually and then check it by entering it in our decoder.

Features of our Morse Code Generator

The following are some of the features that you can enjoy with our Morse code translator. Thanks to these features, our tool is an excellent choice to pick and is an excellent contender among its competitors.

Auto Error Detection And Clean-up

An excellent feature of our Morse code converter is automatic error detection.

When you’re inputting a text string to convert into Morse code, it’s possible that you may add a character that doesn’t have a translation in dots and dashes.

For example, symbols like semi-colon, curly brackets, ampersand, etc., don’t have any equivalents in Morse code. If you add any of these symbols, our tool will alert you. It will point out the exact characters/symbols that cannot be converted to Morse code.

You can then click on the Clean-up button to remove the errors.

Downloading in Multiple File Types

When you convert text to Morse code, you can actually download the latter in three different forms.

  • You can click on the document icon to save the Morse code in the form of a TXT file.
  • You can click on the image icon to save the code in the form of a PNG image with a transparent background.
  • You can click on the audio icon to download the Morse code as an audio file in the .wav format.

Common Expressions in Morse Code

Here is a list of some common expressions used in daily life and their respective translation in Morse code.

Hello:

The greeting “Hello” is written in Morse code as follows: .... . .-.. .-.. --- You can send this Morse code to friends and family members to say hello to them in a different and fun way. Learn more from our detailed guide.

I love you:

If you want to say “I Love You” in Morse code, you have to use the following combination of dots and dashes: .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..-. Learn more from our detailed guide.

Goodbye:

The word “Goodbye” in Morse code is conveyed as follows: --. --- --- -.. -... -.-- . 

SOS:

In Morse code, SOS is written as three short signals, followed by three long signals, and then three short signals again. It is represented as "... --- ...". The acronym SOS does not actually stand for anything, but it is a universally recognized signal for distress in an emergency. Check out our detailed guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Morse code decoder?

A Morse code decoder is an online tool that decodes Morse code; meaning that it converts Morse code into text. The concept of this tool can be better understood in contrast to a Morse code encoder; which is a tool that encodes normal text into Morse code.

Can I learn Morse code without a translator?

Yes, it is very easy and possible to learn Morse code without a translator. You can easily find a Morse code table online that provides the correct combinations of dots and dashes for the different letters and symbols. Using a table or chart like this can be a great way to learn Morse code without a translator. Check out our guide for the  best resources to learn Morse code.

What is “N” in Morse code?

In Morse code, a dash followed by a dot (–.) represents the letter "N". It is one of the most commonly used letters in the English language and has a unique space in Morse code. Use our Morse Code Generator to encode the letter N or N-based words.

What does 3 dots mean in Morse code?

In Morse code, three dots (.) represent the letter "S". It is one of the easiest to remember, as it is represented by three short and quick signals. Use our Morse Decoder to practice it yourself. Use our tool for a quick Morse Code translation—of 3 dots.

What does one blink in Morse code mean?

In Morse code, one blink or dot (.) represents the letter "E". The letter "E" is the most commonly used letter in English. It is also one of the easiest letters to remember and recognize.

Is "Morse code" capitalized?

No, Morse code is not capitalized. In fact, there is no concept of upper case or lower case in Morse code. All the alphabets have one single Morse representation.
