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Learning morse code may seem like an outdated skill, but it can be a fun and rewarding hobby.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.
This would be just about perfect… but the O & 0 and the I and 1 look to similar.
YOU KNOW MORSE CODE ISN’T JUST FOR GUYS
How can i download that machine
awesme
lolololol
Too much fun
One thing that would make it better is to test you on certain places, like only letters for an example.
Excellent game…. love it!!!!!!!
this is fun great practice the only thing I don’t like is guessing between the zero and o
keep getting the same questions over and over again. If there was more variety, it would be way more enjoyable, but overall great game.
boring 5 10
What?
its so cool.
Can we speed it up?
awesome
hi it is so cool i love it
It’s a great game, but they should change it so that the 0 is more distinguishable from the letter O.
The “Y” is hard to tell apart from the “V” and the # Zero looks like the letter “O.” On the whole a great tool for early learning. Could you have a speed setting so we can go faster?
Ok
very good subject
This Morse Code Machine is so cool. It’s the best one for learning A thru Z and 0 thru 9 in morse code.
to cool
As an amateur radio operator, I took and passed the Morse Code test (no longer required) seven years ago, and never used it since. This is a great way to brush up, or to even maintain your CW skills. Thanks!
boring i dont know what it does
Well,then dont use it………..and for those that think this boring,go read a book,with MORE text then pictures……..
It is to learn mores code
how boring
This is really fun
Nice
great
where would I get a M C Key ?
good for practice…
Good fun and good practice at any age.
This is C.O.O.L. FOREVER
I got an A= on my Ham code test with this!
A great idea for improvement!!!
Very good!
nice
Great for building up my code speed. Wish it would go faster.
Great!
Wish I could download it.
Fantastic for building up my receive speed. Recomended highly!
Great practise tool!
very good for learning morse for ham radio.
I like this, great for beginners
this is so cool love it
this is good practice for the beginner.
I have a wakie takie with morse code
The “O” is supposed to be three longs not four
thats a 0 (zero) no O
Da 0 (zero) has 5 dashes not 4
o is supposed to be 3 longs
This is so boring
Boring or not i have to learn the Morse code for my school and this game is very helpful.
Thanks. 🙂
Ciao
Great Practice for the Ham code test.
This is fun
i want to do it to.
