Learn Morse Code With This Morse Translator and Decoder
Use this helpful tool to translate between morse code and text. To begin, please enter words or morse code in the Input box and press Translate.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR USING THE MORSE CODE TRANSLATOR
How to translate morse code to text:
- Enter morse code into the input box using period (.) and minus sign (-)
- Morse letters must be separated by 1 space
- Morse words must be separated by 3 or more spaces
- You can use / to separate morse words. There must be at least 1 space before and after each separator used
How to translate text to morse code:
- Enter text into input box
- Characters that cannot be translated into morse will be ignored
- If morse code and text is entered, the converter will assume morse mode
The Morse Code Generator and Translator is based on code developed by Kurt Grigg.
WHAT IS MORSE CODE?
Morse code is a method of communicating with a series of sounds or lights that can be understood only by someone who knows the code.
Each Morse code symbol represents either a letter or number and is represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. The duration of a dash is three times the duration of a dot.
Samuel F.B. Morse invented a code that was used to send messages over electric telegraphs in the 1830s. The SOS distress signal — three dots, three dashes, three dots — proved to be a simple way to communicate in an emergency.
With the invention of the telephone (and, later, two-way radios and cellphones), Morse code is nowadays used mostly just for fun by amateur radio operators. Certain amateur radio bands are still reserved for Morse code use.
HOW CAN I LEARN MORSE CODE?
Learning morse code can be a fun and rewarding experience. It may seem daunting at first, but with practice, anyone can learn to interpret and transmit Morse code messages.
One of the best ways to start learning morse code is to use an online morse code translator like the one on this page. These tools give you the chance to practice and test your abilities.
A chart like this one can also help you learn morse code by visualizing the dots and dashes on the letters of the alphabet:
A great way to practice is by listening to morse code transmissions on the radio. Many amateur radio operators still use morse code, and you can tune in to their transmissions and try to interpret the messages. You can also join a morse code club or group to practice with other enthusiasts.
Learning morse code may seem like an outdated skill, but it can be a fun and rewarding hobby. It can also be useful in emergency situations when other forms of communication are unavailable. With a bit of practice and dedication, anyone can become proficient in morse code and enjoy the thrill of transmitting and receiving messages in this classic code.
It rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
it is a cool game with glitches and teachs about what type of signal to make
it is really cool i` learning about ham radio i have a ham radio
I’ve been a ham radio operator for over 40 years now and this web page is AWESOME! Thanks for introducing what we call “The Code” to everyone. If you like this, you’ll LOVE operating a QRP ham radio. You can signal with code to other hams all over the world and best of all, you can build your own radio that’ll fit in a lunch box! Have fun and remember to tell others about this website!!! Tnx de WD4D
there is a glitch when u go to number 2 and there is a number switch to number 1 and it shows you the first answer
amazing, really wonderful. thanks very, very very much!
o is hard to reginize from 0
When you do the keyboard it doesent do what i want it to do!!!!
This is great! Wikipedia has a morse code memory aid that really helps. Its a shame i missed my chance to get signaling.
Me too.
love it 😀
it said v is wrong the right answer is v (i think i found a glitch)
it says v is y
it’s great..
our scout also got use this morse code..
it would be more useful if it could send not only letters but complete words
like it,,,
i am 70 years old,have since a kid i,v wanted to learn m/cod
I recon your code machine mite do the trick
This is cool but why is it called morse code machine
cause its morse code
My 7 year old loves this game.
i dont understand the game:I
I dont understand it.
this game i like it,is awsome as you know……
i like it is good
i like it
i like this machine
TYHIS MACHINE IS TOO FAST TO KEEP UP WITH ESPESIALLY WITH NEW RECRUITS
good thing telephones were invented
i dont get this
Love morse code
i am a ham radio operator and send code everyday and the morse code machine is fun to work…sending code with a computer mouse is a whole new ball game… I go along with the others to say the letter I and number one look the same ,and letter O and number0 tuff to tell apart
o has three dashes, and zero has 5 dots
It was kinda hard for me at first, but I got the hang of it. Well at lest I am still trying to get the hang of it.
Yeah it was kinda hard for me to learn the Morse code too.
I am wondering if this can be downloaded to my PC
i realy need to use this because in school were learning about the titanic and we have to learn the morse code because we are doing a play and i am 2 different people the messeger guy and mr gubanhine
this machine was great but hard to spell at least i got the signaling bage 😀
what machine
awsome
ME TO …. ..
The O and the 0 are hard to tell apart.
no there not it’s easy to tell which is which
The morse code machine is very cool!!
the morse code machine on here are on some other website
The morse code game is a very awesome game!!
I learned semaphore and morse code. Now after wasting the last year I have 24 hours left to get the badge and I’m only up to about 20 letters per minute and I need to get to 30…Wish me luck!
okay
this was really helpful for my signaling merit badge! I thought signaling was the hardest of the four but this made it easy! now if only there was a game for semaphore…
this is easey.
This Machine is really helping me to learn morse for the signalling merit badge.
some of numbers and letters look alike it is hard to read
this is so easy i can’t believe it
this is amazing!!!!! keep up the good work boys life!!:)
sweet machine, Boy’s Life!
the button is really too tuchy but it works you just have to be really quick
well thats kinda good. I thought my mouse was just spazzing out.
The problem with the 2 and the 3 has been fixed. Thanks to everyone for your feedback.
this really works!!!!
is this a game?
woah coolio machine
I sat down to memorize morse code for the last chance i had to get signaling,(I blew off the first 5 weeks of practicing) and i memorized it in just 1 hour!!
i am working on Morse code for signaling 2!!!!!!!!
This is a good resource, but the responsiveness of the sending key is a bit slow. Otherwise, keep up the good work, Boy’s Life!
this machine is awesome!!! Iv memorized morse code already.
