Listen to the Morse code

The tones are generated in your browser with the Web Audio API — a 600 Hz oscillator playing real dot and dash timing. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

Each character is replaced by its Morse pattern: a dot is one time unit of signal, a dash is three units, the gap between symbols inside a letter is one unit, between letters three units, and between words seven units (ITU-R M.1677-1).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I translate text to Morse code?

Type your text in the box — every letter is replaced by its pattern of dots and dashes. Letters are separated by one space and words by a slash, so SOS becomes ... --- ... and HELLO WORLD becomes .... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..

How do I read Morse code back into text?

Paste the dots and dashes and the translator detects the direction automatically. Keep one space between letters and use a slash (or an extra space) between words.

What is SOS in Morse code?

... --- ... — three dots, three dashes, three dots. It is sent as one continuous group without letter gaps, which is why it is recognised instantly as a distress call.

Can I listen to the Morse code?

Yes — press Play Morse audio. Your browser generates the tones locally with a 600 Hz oscillator using the standard timing, so no audio file is downloaded or uploaded.

Is Morse code still used today?

Yes — aviation radio beacons (VOR and ILS stations identify themselves in Morse), amateur radio operators, and emergency signalling. The patterns above follow the international standard ITU-R M.1677-1.
