If the duration of a dot is taken to be one unit then that of a dash is three units. The space between the components of one character is one unit, between characters is three units and between words seven units. To indicate that a mistake has been made and for the receiver to delete the last word send ........ (eight dots).

Text to Morse Code Translations
Just type in the text as it is. Most punctuation can be translated.

Morse Code to Text
Morse code must be typed in using '.' for a dot and '-' for a dash. Letters have to be separated by spaces and words have to be separated by '/'.

e.g. for "SOS SOS" type "... --- ... / ... --- ...".

Sound
By default the sound is turned off. You can either choose to have a visual translation (with the sound on or off) or just play the sound of the Morse code. To control the sound please use the form at the bottom of the page.
