Free Morse Code Converter Online — No Signup Required

Morse code is a method of encoding text as sequences of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes), originally developed for telegraph communication in the 1830s. Each letter, digit, and punctuation mark has a unique dot-dash pattern: A is ·−, B is −···, and so on. Morse code is still used by amateur (ham) radio operators, is taught in maritime and aviation emergency signaling, and appears in survival and military contexts where voice communication is impractical. Learning Morse code is also a classic exercise in pattern recognition and can be learned to speeds exceeding 20 words per minute.

This converter works in both directions: type text to see the Morse code sequence, or enter dots and dashes to decode back to text. It supports the International Morse Code standard (ITU), covering the Latin alphabet, digits 0–9, and common punctuation. Audio playback lets you hear the encoded message at adjustable speed, which is useful for learning Morse by ear. Dots (·), dashes (−), inter-character spaces, and inter-word spaces are visually distinguished in the output.
