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Learning morse code may seem like an outdated skill, but it can be a fun and rewarding hobby.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 is an unique way for communication. me and my friends love to tap it put to each other!
does not run on windows 8.1
Many years ago I was able to do 22 wpm. Been out of it for years. I’m using this machine to build my recognition back to where I can make CW contacts again. I love it. It’s working great. Only downside is that it doesn’t work on my phone. That would be awesome to be able to work with it everywhere.
This is very helpful
i know love it so much
I took an old mouse and wired my key to the left button in the mouse and plugged it in to my mouse port with the arrow over the transmit key icon I am able to use my real key to practice with. this is an awesome tool.
I am a ham and I use this program for practice and I find this to be an excellent tool.
Wow it’s kind of hard and confusing but I love it the BEST!!!!!!!
Cool
The font is confusing.
agreed! I confuse the zero and ‘O’, as well as the V and Y. But apart from that, it’s been a great learning tool. (Though I’ll probably expect to hear the bell ring every time i get a letter right in future!)
This game is awesome!!!
Great game
I’m in Scouts.
Muy entreteniddo

letter O (as in Oscar) and number 0 (Zero) look almost identical or my eyes are going bad…
Sorry guys it does not work on my phone.
lets do this
Sucks because it is not pulling up on my phone
Wish I could connect my straight key to transmit.
Peter Piper picked a patch if pickled peppers.
i love this!
Great learning tool.
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess it won’t work on iPad since it is flash.
The Morse Code Machine is very nice, I love it.
NICE AND VERY GOOD GUIDE FOR NEWLY MORSCODE HOBBY
THANKS FOR CREATING FOR THIS,
73 TO ALL
like it a lot
ASEOME
“ASEOME” …
Good Machine
too slow! Needs a speed control sound needs to be a bit Higher piched
this looks like a pretty promising idea
Thanks! The only thing that I wish this had was a place to type in words or sentences to hear them play on the machine. But this is a great resource and I appreciate it.
PAWSOME
yea it is
i agree
Very helpful. Wish it were faster or had speed control.
Yes, I agree with a lot of people. Is it possible to increase speed?
it was not showing up and I am mad
Great Resource, Thank you for providing this
i love youuuuuuu
what is it called
its different
