Frequently asked questions

What is Morse code?

Morse code represents each letter, number, and punctuation mark as a short sequence of dots and dashes. It was created for telegraph communication in the 1830s and is still used today in aviation, amateur radio, and as an accessible signalling method. This tool uses the International Morse code standard.

How should I format Morse code for decoding?

Write each letter as dots and dashes, put a single space between letters, and a slash between words — for example, “.... ..” for the word “HI”. The decoder is forgiving: it also accepts a pipe as a word separator and normalises common look-alike characters such as bullet dots and long dashes.

Which characters are supported?

The translator handles the letters A to Z, the digits 0 to 9, and common punctuation including period, comma, question mark, apostrophe, slash, parentheses, and the at sign. Letter case does not matter, and any character outside the supported set is skipped during encoding.

Why did I get a translation error?

Decoding fails when a sequence of dots and dashes does not match any Morse character — for example, a typo with too many dots. Check that letters are separated by single spaces and words by slashes, then the translation will succeed.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All translation happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored, so it stays completely private and the tool keeps working even when you are offline.
