About Morse code
Morse code represents letters, numbers and punctuation as short and long signals — dots (dits) and dashes (dahs). Amateur radio, aviation and emergency signalling still use it; SOS (... --- ...) is the best-known distress rhythm.
This site uses International Morse, so encode/decode here matches common charts. Type on the Text side to encode; paste dots and dashes (ASCII .- or ·—) on the Morse side to decode. Word gaps show as /.
No photo OCR and no license-exam coaching. For a full phrase as sound, use Play on the converter or the audio translator. For structured drills, open the trainer.
Common questions
Is this International Morse or American Railroad Morse?
International Morse (ITU-style letters, digits, and common punctuation). If an old railroad chart disagrees, you are looking at a different alphabet.
Does my text leave this device?
No. Encode, decode, and audio run locally in your browser. There is no account and nothing is uploaded for translation.
Why isn’t sound playing?
Most browsers block autoplay. Click Play once after the page loads — that gesture starts Web Audio. Silence is usually a permission rule, not a broken tone.
What does WPM mean here?
Words per minute using the PARIS standard (dit length ≈ 1200 / WPM ms). Higher WPM shortens dits and dahs; pitch only changes the tone, not the timing.
Can I learn Morse here, or is this only a converter?
Both. The homepage opens on the converter. Trainer (Koch / Farnsworth), listening practice, and keyer are linked below for drills.
Is this for emergencies or a license exam?
No. Use it to practice and translate. Official training and emergency procedures live elsewhere.
