How to translate text to Morse code
1. Type or paste
Enter English text, or paste dots and dashes — Auto mode detects which direction you need.
2. Get the conversion instantly
The result appears as you type: text becomes dot-dash groups, or Morse becomes readable English. Nothing leaves your browser.
3. Play, copy or share
Listen at 5–35 WPM, download an MP3, copy the result, or generate a share link that reopens with your text pre-filled.
Your free Morse code converter, with sound
The converter runs entirely on this page: no upload, no queue, no account. Every timing follows the PARIS standard — one dot lasts 1200 ÷ WPM milliseconds, so 20 WPM means a 60 ms dot and a 180 ms dash. Tune the speed (5–35 WPM) and tone (400–1000 Hz) in Advanced, then press Play to hear exactly what a radio operator would hear.

Frequently asked questions
›Is this Morse code translator free?
Yes. Every tool on this site is free and needs no account: no sign-up, no watermark, no usage limits. Open the page, type, and the conversion happens in your browser.
›How do I translate text to Morse code?
Type or paste your text into the box above. In Auto mode the translator detects that you typed letters and converts them to dots and dashes immediately: each letter becomes a dot-dash group, spaces between words become a slash (/).
›How do I turn Morse code back into English?
Paste the dots and dashes into the same box. Auto mode recognizes Morse symbols and decodes them to English text. A single space separates letters, and a slash or three spaces separates words.
›What do the dots and dashes actually mean?
A dot (·) is one unit of sound; a dash (–) lasts three units. The gap between symbols inside a letter is one unit, between letters three units, and between words seven units. Everything else — WPM, tone, MP3 length — is derived from that ratio.
›How fast is 20 WPM in Morse code?
At 20 words per minute, one dot lasts 1200 ÷ 20 = 60 milliseconds, a dash lasts 180 ms, and a full word-per-minute reference word (PARIS) takes three seconds. Beginners usually start at 5–10 WPM; 20+ is exam territory.
›Can the converter handle long passages?
Yes — up to 5,000 characters per conversion, which is roughly a page of text. Longer or multi-line batch jobs belong in the dedicated Morse code generator, which also exports files.
