Morse Code Translator

How Morse Code Translator works

Translate text into Morse code and decode dots and dashes back into text, including numbers and punctuation. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

The encoding, exactly

Text is lowercased and each character is replaced by its Morse sequence. A space becomes a slash, letters are separated by a single space, and any character without a Morse equivalent is dropped rather than replaced with a placeholder — so an emoji or an accented letter simply disappears.

Decoding reverses it: the input is split on whitespace, each token looked up in the reverse table, and a slash becomes a space. Unknown tokens are skipped, which means a stray dot does not corrupt the whole message.

What the table covers

The full A–Z alphabet, digits 0–9, and the punctuation that actually appears in transmissions: full stop, comma, question mark, apostrophe, exclamation mark, slash, brackets, ampersand, colon, semicolon, equals, plus, hyphen, underscore, quotation mark, dollar and the commercial at sign.

That is the ITU set. Morse has regional and procedural extensions — prosigns like AR and SK, and accented letters in other languages — which are not in this table.

Timing is not encoded here

Real Morse has a rhythm: a dash is three units long, the gap between symbols is one unit, between letters three and between words seven. This tool converts the symbols only — it does not play audio and does not check timing.

For practice with audio, you need a keyer or an app that generates the tones; for reading a printed sequence, the symbols are all you need.

Good to know

• Works offline once loaded, including on flights and in locked-down networks.
• No file size limit beyond your device's own memory.
• Free to use, with no account and no usage counter.
• Results are produced locally, so they are not logged or shared with anyone.
