How are letters and words separated in the Morse output?

Individual letters are separated by a single space and whole words are separated by a forward slash (/). This is a common, unambiguous convention for written Morse.

Which characters are supported?

All A–Z letters, digits 0–9, and common punctuation such as . , ? ! / and more. Characters with no Morse equivalent are skipped when encoding.

What is SOS in Morse code?

SOS is ... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots. It was chosen as the international distress signal because the pattern is simple and unmistakable.

How do I write Morse for "HELLO"?

HELLO is .... . .-.. .-.. --- with single spaces between letters. A space between words would be shown as a slash (/).

Is Morse code case-sensitive?

No. Morse has no separate upper and lower case, so "Hello" and "HELLO" produce the same code. This translator treats input case-insensitively.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The entire translation runs in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type is sent to a server or stored.

Morse Code Translator

This tool converts plain text to Morse code and decodes Morse code back to text in one place. It is handy for learning Morse, puzzles, amateur radio practice, and signalling.

How it works

Encoding looks up each letter, digit and common punctuation mark in the International Morse Code table and replaces it with its dots and dashes. Decoding reverses the lookup. The spacing convention is fixed and unambiguous:

a single space separates letters
a forward slash (/) separates words

Characters with no Morse equivalent are skipped when encoding. Morse has no case, so input is treated case-insensitively.

Example

Encoding HELLO gives:

.... . .-.. .-.. ---

Encoding the two-word phrase GO HOME gives --. --- / .... --- -- . with a slash marking the word break.
