How to read Morse code
Each letter or digit is a unique sequence of dots (·) and dashes (—). When decoding, separate each letter with a single space and separate words with a forward-slash /. For example: ... --- ... decodes to SOS.
Morse code translator lets you convert any plain text into the classic dot-and-dash signals used by telegraph operators since the 1830s — and decode Morse back to readable text just as easily. Whether you're learning Morse, sending a secret message, or satisfying your curiosity, this free tool handles letters, numbers, and common punctuation with a built-in Morse alphabet reference table.
Switch to Morse → Text mode, paste your Morse code into the input field, and the plain text appears instantly. Separate each letter with a space and use a forward-slash (/) to separate words — for example: .... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..
The tool supports all 26 letters (A–Z), digits 0–9, and common punctuation marks including period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, at-sign, slash, parentheses, and more — matching the standard International Morse Code alphabet.
SOS is ... --- ... — three dots (S), three dashes (O), three dots (S). It is the internationally recognised distress signal because it is easy to transmit and distinguish even in poor conditions.
No. Morse code has no concept of case — every letter maps to the same sequence regardless of whether you type it in upper or lower case. The decoded output is always returned in capitals to reflect this.
