About Morse code

Morse code was developed in the 1830s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for the electrical telegraph and is still used in amateur radio and aviation emergency signalling. Each letter is a unique pattern of dots and dashes, with the most-used letters (E, T) given the shortest codes.

FAQ

How do I read Morse code?

A dot (.) is a short signal, a dash (-) is about three times longer. Letters are separated by single spaces; words by a forward slash (/).

Can I decode Morse back to English?

Yes — paste Morse into the input and click Decode. The translator handles letters, digits and punctuation.

Why does playback need a click first?

Browsers block audio until the user interacts with the page. Pressing Play creates the AudioContext and starts the beeps.
