Complete Guide: Text to Morse Code Converter
Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The Text to Morse Code Converter translates between plain text and Morse code in both directions. You type text and get dots and dashes, or paste Morse code and get readable text. It supports A through Z, digits 0 through 9, and common punctuation marks. Letters are separated by spaces and words by forward slashes in the Morse output. All processing happens in the browser.
This tool maps each character to its international Morse code equivalent. In text-to-Morse mode, it looks up each character and outputs the dot-dash pattern separated by spaces, with slashes between words. In Morse-to-text mode, it splits the input on spaces and slashes and reverses the lookup. Invalid characters are flagged rather than silently dropped.
Learning Morse code
Practice encoding and decoding messages to build Morse code proficiency for ham radio or scouting.
Creating coded messages for games
Encode a message in Morse code for escape rooms, treasure hunts, or puzzle challenges.
Verifying manual translations
Check your hand-encoding or hand-decoding against the tool to catch mistakes.
Exploring historical communication

The conversion appears instantly as you type.
Copy or download

Use a forward slash (/) to separate words in Morse code input.
Letters in Morse output are separated by spaces.
Morse code is case-insensitive, so 'Hello' and 'HELLO' produce the same output.
The reference table shows the Morse pattern for every supported character.
What characters are supported?
The tool supports letters A through Z, digits 0 through 9, and common punctuation including period, comma, question mark, exclamation point, apostrophe, colon, semicolon, slash, hyphen, underscore, plus, and equals.
Can I decode Morse back to text?
Yes. Switch to Morse-to-text mode, paste Morse code with spaces between letters and slashes between words, and the tool decodes it.
Is Morse code still used today?
Yes. Amateur radio operators, some military and emergency communication systems, and educational programs still use Morse code.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. The text never leaves your device.
Does it support non-English characters?
The international Morse code standard covers Latin alphabet characters. Non-Latin scripts are not supported.
