About this tool
Converts text to Morse code and Morse code back to text. Morse code is an encoding system made of dots and dashes, used in telegraphy since the 19th century and still used in amateur radio, emergency signaling, and maritime communications. Useful for puzzles, educational games, geocaching, or simply for learning the system.

Frequently asked questions
- How are letters and words separated in Morse?
- Letters within a word are separated by a small space (typically a single space in text). Whole words are separated by a larger gap (typically a forward slash "/" or three spaces). Without clear separation, the same sequence of dots and dashes can have multiple interpretations.
- Which letters and symbols are supported?
- Latin alphabet (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and the most common punctuation (period, comma, question mark, exclamation). Accented letters have their own codes in some variants (international vs. national Morse) but this tool uses the international standard, without accents.
- Can I hear the sound of the dots and dashes?
- This tool generates only the text representation. To hear it, consider tools dedicated to Morse audio training, important for those who want to learn to interpret Morse by ear (as in amateur radio).
