Morse Code Maker
Convert text to Morse Code and Morse Code back to text, listen to it, flash it as a light signal, and practise until it feels natural. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Letters A–Z, numbers 0–9 and common punctuation are supported. Spaces between words become the word separator ( / ).
Separate letters with a space and words with a slash ( / ) or three spaces. Unknown sequences are shown as � and listed below.

Morse Code Audio
Audio plays the Morse Code from the converter above. Nothing plays automatically — press Play.
Ready. Press Play to hear the Morse Code.
Visual Morse Signal
The lamp flashes the Morse Code from the converter above — short flash for a dot, long flash for a dash.
Visual signal ready.
Morse Audio to Text Decoder
Play Morse tones near your microphone (or use a second device). Microphone access is requested only when you press Start, nothing is uploaded, and recording stops when you press Stop. Best results: a quiet room, a clear tone, and the WPM set to match the sender.
Microphone not started.

Flashlight Morse Signal
Device flashlight control works only on some Android Chrome devices with a rear torch. On every other device the screen itself flashes instead — that simulation always works. The flashlight is never turned on automatically; it starts only when you press Start.
Flashlight not started. Compatibility is checked when you press Start.

SOS Morse Code Generator
… — …
SOS is the international distress signal. In Morse Code it is three dots, three dashes, three dots — the letters S, O, S. It was chosen because it is simple, unmistakable and easy to send under stress. It does not stand for a phrase; it is a signal that means “I need urgent help.” Use it only in a real emergency, and always contact your local emergency services by phone or radio first when you can.
Timing: dot = 1 unit, dash = 3 units, gap between letters = 3 units. At 20 WPM one unit is 60 ms, so SOS takes about 1.6 seconds per round. This tool is for learning and signalling practice only — it is not a substitute for calling your local emergency services.

Keyboard Morse Practice
Click inside this box, then type: dot key ( . ) for a dot, dash key ( – ) for a dash, Space to finish a letter, Backspace to delete the last symbol, and Enter to add a word space. Buttons work the same way on touch devices.

Morse to Binary / Binary to Morse
Mapping used here: dot = 0, dash = 1, letters separated by a space, words by “ / ”. This mapping is for learning and puzzles; it does not preserve timing gaps.
Shareable / Custom Morse Message
Warning: a shareable link contains your message in encoded form in the URL itself. Anyone with the link can decode it. Keep messages under 500 characters.

Morse Code QR Generator
Generates a QR code for your Morse message entirely in this browser (no external service). Short messages work best; the QR payload is limited to 200 characters.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morse Code?
Morse Code is a way of sending text using short and long signals — dots and dashes. Each letter, number and punctuation mark has its own pattern. It was widely used for telegraph and radio communication and is still taught today for amateur radio and emergency signalling.
How do I convert text into Morse Code?
Type your text in the “Text to Morse Code” box. The conversion happens as you type. Copy the result, download it as a TXT file, or press Play to hear it.
How do I translate Morse Code into English?
Switch to the “Morse Code to Text” tab and paste or type the code. Separate letters with a space and words with a slash ( / ). The decoded text appears instantly, and any sequence that is not valid Morse Code is flagged for you.
What does SOS mean in Morse Code?
SOS is … — … — three dots, three dashes, three dots. It is the international distress signal. It is a pattern chosen for clarity, not an abbreviation, and it means urgent help is needed.
How do you play Morse Code audio?
Convert some text first, then press Play in the audio controls. You can change the speed in words per minute, the tone frequency, the volume and the overall playback speed. Pause, Stop and Replay are available at any time.
What is the difference between dots and dashes?
A dot is one timing unit long and a dash is three units long. The gap inside a letter is one unit, between letters three units, and between words seven units. That timing is what makes Morse Code readable by ear.
Is Morse Code still used today?
Yes — mainly by amateur radio operators, in aviation and maritime contexts, and as an emergency signal. It is also still learned as a skill and used in education, puzzles and assistive communication.
