Morse Code Translator - Text to Morse & Back

A Morse code translator converts text into dots and dashes (or vice versa). Each letter, number, and some punctuation map to a unique pattern. Use it for amateur radio practice, puzzle creation, or nostalgia. This tool processes everything in your browser.

1. Enter input: Paste text or Morse code (dots, dashes, and spaces).
2. Choose direction: Select Text to Morse or Morse to Text.
3. Convert: Copy the output for radio logs, puzzles, or learning drills.

• Learning aid: Practice Morse patterns without memorizing charts.
• Puzzle building: Create escape room clues or ARG messages.
• Ham radio prep: Draft messages before keying them live.

Use case 1: Amateur radio practice

Translate practice sentences and compare against your keyed output to check accuracy.

Use case 2: Escape rooms

Encode clues in Morse for players to decode using a provided chart.

Use case 3: Creative projects

Add Morse text to posters, jewelry designs, or music intros for hidden messages.

Basic example

Input: SOS
Output: ... --- ...

Advanced example

Input: .-.. . .- .-. -. / -- --- .-. ... .
Output: LEARN MORSE

Spacing issues

Words separate with / or double space; letters separate with single spaces. Incorrect spacing garbles output.

Unsupported characters

Some symbols and non-Latin letters have no Morse equivalent and may be skipped.

• Use audio playback (if available) to hear the rhythm, not just see the dots.
• For cleaner input, strip formatting first with the plain text converter.
• Layer with the Caesar cipher for double-encoded puzzles.

• Shift letters with the Caesar cipher encoder.
• Obfuscate answers using ROT13.
• Convert to binary representation with the binary converter.

Translation happens locally in your browser. No messages are uploaded, so your radio logs and puzzle drafts stay private.
