Morse Code Translator

Translates plain text into International Morse Code, or Morse code back into plain text, automatically detecting which direction to go based on whether your input contains dots and dashes or ordinary letters.

Type or paste text or Morse code into the input box; the translation appears automatically below it. Letters are matched case-insensitively, so it doesn't matter whether you type in uppercase or lowercase.

Translating `SOS` produces `... --- ...` — three dots, three dashes, three dots, the sequence most associated with the international distress signal. Feeding that Morse back into the tool returns `SOS`.

Dots and dashes within a single letter have no space between them; letters are separated by one space, and words are separated by a slash (`/`) or a longer gap, matching the standard convention used in written Morse code.

The translator covers the 26 Latin letters, digits 0–9, and common punctuation such as `. , ? ' ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ @`; characters outside the International Morse Code table are left out of the Morse output or ignored when decoding.

This produces and reads the dot/dash text representation of Morse code, not actual audio tones or timing — it's a translation reference, not a code-practice trainer that teaches you to send or receive Morse by ear.

Translation runs entirely in your browser via client-side JavaScript; the text you enter is never uploaded to a server or stored.
