About

About the Text to Morse Converter

Type ordinary text and get back International Morse code, timed the way a real operator would send it — dots and dashes for each letter, a single space between letters, and a slash between words so the boundaries stay unambiguous when read back as plain characters.

International Morse gives every letter, digit and common punctuation mark its own pattern of short dots and long dashes, with the most frequent English letters getting the shortest codes — E is a single dot and T a single dash. Written out as text, letters are separated by a space and words by a slash, which is exactly the format this converter produces, so the result can be pasted into a puzzle, a message or a practice sheet and read back without ambiguity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the Text to Morse Converter.

How do I convert text to Morse code?

Type your text above, make sure "Text to Morse" is selected as the direction, then click Convert. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

How are letters and words separated in the output?

Each letter's dots and dashes are separated from the next letter by a single space, and each word is separated from the next by a slash ( / ) — the standard way International Morse is written as plain text.

Does it handle numbers and punctuation, not just letters?

Yes — numbers 0-9 and common punctuation like periods and commas all have defined Morse patterns and convert along with the letters.

Is this text to Morse converter free?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how much text you convert.

Can I convert Morse code back to text?

Yes — the same tool handles both directions. Switch the dropdown, or use the dedicated Morse code translator page.

Is my text sent anywhere when I convert it?

No. The conversion runs directly in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.

What happens to characters without a Morse code?

They're skipped, and a message tells you how many were left out. That includes accented letters like é, emoji and most symbols — only A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation such as . , ? ! ' / ( ) & : ; = + - _ $ @ and quotation marks are converted.

Does capitalisation matter?

No. Morse code has no upper or lower case, so hello and HELLO give exactly the same result.

Can I hear the Morse code?

No, this converter produces written dots and dashes only, with no sound or flashing light. Paste the result into an audio Morse player if you want to listen to it.
