Morse Code Generator: Text to Morse Code
Type or paste English text into the Morse code generator above. This text-to-Morse converter supports letters A–Z, numbers 0–9 and common punctuation. Each letter becomes a group of dots and dashes, with a space between letters and a slash (/) between words. Press Copy to take the result as plain periods (.) and hyphens (-). Unsupported characters stay underlined so you can find and remove them; playback skips them, and copied results use # in their place.
HELLO → .... . .-.. .-.. ---Decode
Morse Code to English Decoder
Paste dots and dashes into the same input to translate Morse code to English. The decoder detects the direction automatically: separate letters with one space, and words with a slash (/) or two or more spaces. It also accepts dot symbols such as · and dash variants such as _ and –. If a group cannot be decoded, it stays visible with an underline and an explanation. Check its spacing, remove the invalid group, or choose to translate the input as text instead.
.... .. / -.-- --- ..- → HI YOUListen
Morse Code Translator with Audio
Press Play to hear the translated message and see the signal lamp flash with each dot and dash. Choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 words per minute (WPM), then open Sound settings to adjust the tone and volume. The Morse code audio is generated in your browser, so no audio file is needed. You can play either text you have encoded or dots and dashes you have decoded. This tool plays Morse code; it does not recognize recordings or microphone input.

The basics
What Is Morse Code?
Morse code represents letters, numbers and other characters with short signals called dots and longer signals called dashes. A dash lasts three times as long as a dot. Gaps separate the signals, letters and words. International Morse code can be sent using sound, light or any signal that can be switched on and off. This translator uses International Morse code.
