Overview
A modern Morse code translator
morsedecoder converts English to International Morse code and decodes Morse back to text in real time. Letters are separated by a single space and words by a slash (/), following the ITU-R M.1677 standard where a dash lasts three times as long as a dot. Everything runs client-side, so your text never leaves the browser.
For example, HELLO WORLD becomes.... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -.., and the distress call SOS is ... --- .... Use the example chips to load common phrases, press Play to hear the rhythm, andCopy or Share the result.
