Why Use This Tool

Morse code, composed of dots and dashes, has played a crucial role in military, aviation, maritime, and amateur communications. This tool simplifies translation and makes practice more intuitive, helping learners and hobbyists engage with Morse code effectively.

How to Use the Morse Code Generator

Choose a Mode Select either Encoder (to convert text into Morse code) or Decoder (to turn Morse code into text).
Enter Input
- Encoder: Type text in the input field (e.g., HELLO). The Morse code output updates automatically.
- Decoder: Type Morse code using . for dots, - for dashes, spaces between letters, and / between words (e.g., .... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..).
Use the Controls
- Play (Encoder): Hear the Morse output as audio
- Copy: Copy the Morse or decoded result
- Clear: Reset both input and output fields
- Decode (Decoder): Converts Morse to plain text
Review the Reference Chart Use the chart to manually verify Morse symbols for letters, numbers, and select punctuation marks.

Tips for Input

Encoder accepts common letters, numbers, and symbols
Use uppercase or lowercase; output is standardized automatically
Decoder skips unknown or malformed sequences

Example

To Encode: Input: HELLO WORLD Output: .... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. Click Play to listen or Copy to save the result.

To Decode: Input: .... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. Click Decode to view: HELLO WORLD
