Morse Code Translator

Text to Morse and Back, with Sound.

Loading…

Type words to get dots and dashes, or paste Morse to read it. The direction is detected from what you enter. Letters are separated by a space and words by a slash.

The player sounds the code at a speed and pitch you set, with the standard timing: a dash lasts three dots, and the gap between words lasts seven.
