ABOUT THE TOOL

Small signals. Clear messages.

Morse Translator brings text conversion, signal playback, and an alphabet reference into one workspace. Type a message, inspect the dots and dashes, and listen at a speed that suits you.

What you can do

  • Encode and decode International or American Morse.
  • Adjust speed and pitch, and follow the signal as it plays.
  • Save a WAV audio file without uploading your message.
  • Review recent messages stored in your browser.

Know the limits

Interface languages change labels, not the supported alphabet. The main tool does not automatically decode recordings or images, or convert Japanese kana and Cyrillic characters. Unsupported input stays visible and is flagged.

American playback uses a documented timing interpretation with longer marks and internal gaps. Historical practice varied. See the reference guides for background.

How references and examples are maintained

The International alphabet and timing pages cite ITU-R M.1677-1. Specialized guides link to the relevant publisher: JARL for Wabun, Unicode for UTF-8, ICAO for the spelling alphabet, and official or specialist references for their own topics. Common punctuation extensions are labelled separately from the ITU table.

Worked Latin examples are generated with the same encoder as the main tool. Checks cover encoding and decoding, letter and word boundaries, byte conversion, localized interface coverage, and published page metadata. A source link explains a convention; it does not imply that the source endorses this site.

Pages distinguish implemented converters from reference guides. Historical timings and shared script signs have limitations that are explained where they matter. If a copied example differs from the tool or a linked source changes, include the page URL and exact input when reporting it so the case can be reproduced.
