Morse Code Translator

About Morse Code Translator

Morse code is a method of encoding text using sequences of dots (.) and dashes (-) that represent letters, numbers, and punctuation. Developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s for electrical telegraph communication, it remains in use today in aviation, amateur radio, and emergency signaling. This tool provides instant, bidirectional conversion between plain text and International Morse code. In Text to Morse mode, type any sentence and see it rendered as dots and dashes with proper spacing — single space between letters, slash or double space between words. In Morse to Text mode, paste any Morse sequence and decode it back to readable text. The built-in audio playback feature uses the Web Audio API to generate real beep tones at 700 Hz, letting you hear the rhythm of your Morse code directly in the browser. All processing is client-side, with no data sent to any server.

How to Use Morse Code Translator

4. The result appears instantly in the output area below the input.
5. Click "Play Audio" to hear the Morse code played as beep tones through your browser's Web Audio API.
