What Is the Morse Code Translator?

The Morse Code Translator (formerly Morse Decoder) enables anyone to translate text into Morse code or convert Morse code into text. To use the tool, simply enter text into the text input box to convert it into Morse code, or enter Morse code into the output box to start decoding it.

Note: This translator converts English text to International Morse code, not American Morse code. You can check the Morse code chart PDF we created, which shows how each character is represented.

How to Use the Morse Code Translator

Follow the steps below to start translating Morse code into text and vice versa. If you need to change any options, click on the gear icon at the top right. From there, you can adjust advanced options such as the frequency, WPM (words per minute), dot or dash characters, and the character used for spacing (forward slash by default).

If you would like to experience Morse code visually with flashing lights instead, check our Morse code light translator.

What Can This Translator Be Used For?

Amateur radio operators, scouts, and educators use this Morse code generator for educational, professional, or recreational purposes. You can use it to:

  • Understand common words, phrases, and letters used in Morse code, such as the SOS signal and I love you in Morse code.
  • Create secret messages to send to friends online, e.g., on WhatsApp or Instagram.

You can also use this translator as a Morse code decoder to decode hidden messages written in Morse symbols, such as those found in escape rooms or tattoos with dashes and dots.
