Free Online Morse Code Translator With Sound Playback

Translate text into Morse code and Morse code back into text, entirely in your browser. Letter and word spacing follow the real convention so the result can be read back, and the code can be played as sound at a speed you set, with a slower character speed for learning. Numbers, punctuation and the usual prosigns are included.

How to Translate Morse Code

A few steps, and nothing is uploaded.

Type or paste Plain text or Morse. Left on the automatic setting, the tool works out which one you gave it.

Choose how it is written Dots and dashes is standard. A slash between words is the convention that lets the code be read back correctly.

Press play to hear it Pick a speed in words a minute and a tone. Wider gaps keep the dots and dashes at full speed while giving you longer to think.

Copy the result The copy button takes the code or the decoded text, whichever direction you were working in.

What to Know About Morse Code

Spacing, speed, and what has no Morse equivalent.

Word spacing is what makes Morse readable again. Letters are separated by one space and words by the equivalent of three, usually written as a slash. A translator that uses a single space everywhere produces code that no tool, including this one, can split back into words correctly.

Morse has no capitals. There is one code per letter, so capital and small letters produce exactly the same dots and dashes, and decoded text comes out in capitals by convention. Nothing is lost that Morse ever carried.

Not every character has a Morse equivalent. Letters, digits and about a dozen punctuation marks do. Anything else, including most symbols and all emoji, has no code at all and is left out rather than guessed at. Whatever was skipped is listed under the counters.

Speed in words a minute is measured against the word PARIS. That word happens to take exactly fifty units of Morse time, so it is the standard yardstick. At twenty words a minute a dot lasts sixty milliseconds, which is why the figure can be converted into timing at all.

Wider gaps are the Farnsworth method, and it is how people actually learn. The dots and dashes stay at full speed so your ear learns the real shape of each letter, while the gaps between letters stretch to give you time to recognise them. Slowing everything down instead teaches you to count, which is a habit that has to be unlearned later.

Key Features & Capabilities

What this tool does, and what it deliberately does not.

Both directions Text to Morse and Morse to text, with the direction worked out automatically if you want.

Real playback Plays with correct timing at a speed in words a minute, using nothing but your browser.

Farnsworth spacing Full speed characters with wider gaps, which is the method that actually works for learning.

Correct spacing One space between letters and a slash between words, so the result can be decoded again.

Forgiving decoder Dots, full stops, hyphens, underscores and dashes are all understood, however the code was typed.

Nothing is uploaded The translation and the sound are both made in this tab, with nothing sent anywhere.

About the Morse Code Translator

Morse code is nearly two centuries old and still in use, partly because it needs almost nothing: a lamp, a buzzer, a tapped pencil, a voice. That simplicity is also why it is a popular puzzle answer, a geocaching staple and a standing favourite in escape rooms.

The detail that separates a working translator from a decorative one is spacing. Morse timing is built from one unit: a dot is one, a dash is three, the gap inside a letter is one, between letters three, and between words seven. Written down, that becomes one space between letters and a slash between words. Lose the distinction and the code still looks right while being impossible to read back.

Sound matters for the same reason. Morse was never meant to be read off a page, and anybody learning it is learning sounds rather than patterns of dots. Playing at a real speed with real timing, and offering the wider gaps that learners actually need, turns a conversion page into something you can practise with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spacing, speed, unsupported characters and playback.

It marks the gap between words, which is three times the gap between letters. Without something marking it, the code cannot be split back into words. You can switch it to three spaces, a vertical bar or a line break if you prefer.

Because Morse has no capitals. There is one code per letter, so the information about case was never there to begin with, and capitals are the long standing convention for writing Morse out as text.

It keeps the dots and dashes at your chosen speed but stretches the silence between letters. That is the Farnsworth method, and it works because your ear learns each letter as a single sound rather than as something to be counted.

They have no Morse equivalent. Morse covers letters, digits and a limited set of punctuation, and anything beyond that is left out rather than approximated. The list of what was skipped appears under the counters.

Not from this page. The audio is generated as it plays rather than built as a file, which is what keeps it instant and keeps everything in your browser. The code itself can be copied or downloaded as text.
