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Learning morse code may seem like an outdated skill, but it can be a fun and rewarding hobby.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.
Hello I am on the rms titanic and it is the best voyage I have ever been on
I think you should add a list of cool morse code dots and dits on this site
HARD):
try morserunner totaly adjustable, enjoy.
Good, but doesn’t give enough time.
i love morse and am trying to learn it, so yay for boys life!!!!!!!!
awesome
amazing easy …. and fun!
Nice game
what is this? o.o
it is a good one for short wave listeners
Can I downloaded this to my computer so I can use it with out being online.
Awesome
awesome
Excellent tool.
Am going for interview in a Defence signals job very shortly and with the help of this tool I managed to teach myself the whole code within a day. Hoping this might give me something else to drop at the interview – GREAT WORK
An excellent teaching tool, but I’m afraid I must agree with mlfrancis that the choice of font makes it extremely easy to confuse O with 0, V with Y and 1 with I.
love it
enjoyed ^_^
Is there Morse Code machine (old time type) for sale in store today?
Yes, ham radio stores have them and you can find them on ebay by searching for morse code key.
Great way to get started,really enjoyrd it,thankyou.
This is so confusing and hard. If only it were easier…………
Fun
This is Great! My Grandpa would like this. I think this will help me learn Morse Code alot better.
I can’t use it
i now do u have a I Pad or desk computer
Once you start getting the hang of it here and are ready to move on. There is an iOS app called Ham Morse that I like a lot. It has settings that allow you to focus on specific characters and adjust the speed.
this website really helped my project( learning morse off by heart, being able to write/beep very fast) Im only 12
Can’t get it!!!
This is a great tool. I am 69 years old and just got my ham radio license. This is great practice in re-learning morse code. I only wish the speed could be varied.
Thank you!
To confusing. They need to make it so you can write a code in morse code
It would be great if you could learn words.
if you don’t know morse code just write the answers down
I don’t like this game because it won’t let me play for some reason
I think the site is cool but the morse code not so cool
wonderfull!
its ok test one worked but test two did not its maybe a 4 star
so Good Thank U
i think it is asome
good Thank you very much
It is realy great.That lines and dots
Pretty good, but the sound is delayed so much it is actually distracting. Try turning the sound off and just imagining the beeps and see if your coding speed improves. For me it was a dramatic difference.
I find this really helpful and useful for me it’s about 5 stars 🙂
if you get 3 wrong it tells you that ..— is 3 rather than …–
Does anyone know where I can find the morse code machine program?
Where can I find the morse code machine? I find the comments to the program but not the program itself so I cannot comment.
Make sure “Java” is on to play Morse Code Machine.
Useful
I think it is really usefull I think it could be better but i’m not sure how!!!
I LOVE THIS GAME AND IT HELPS US TO LEARN THE MORSE CODE WHOO HOO
i was using a slow slow computer so i guess its just the computer because when i did – or . it stoped and said i got it wrong
I love it!
I find some of the fonts confusing. 0 vs. O, Y vs. V, 1 vs. I example. Other than that, I like it.
learned code in less than one week, something I couldn’t do with various code practice tapes .
please make it so i can press space to press the beep
Nice
EXCELLENT ,
IF YOU COULD ALLOW US TO PUT OUR WPM

Please fix the tone so it doesn’t have the slow attack-decay characteristics.
A simple sine or triangle wave not shaped so much would be much better.
