Frequently Asked Questions

What is Morse code?

Morse code encodes text characters as sequences of dots (.) and dashes (-), called dits and dahs. Developed in the 1830s for the telegraph, it is still used today in aviation, amateur radio, and emergency signaling.

How do I read Morse code?

Each letter is a unique pattern of dots and dashes. A dot is a short signal; a dash is three times longer. Letters are separated by a space and words by a slash (/). For example, A is .- and B is -...

What is SOS in Morse code?

SOS is ... --- ... (three dots, three dashes, three dots). It is the international distress signal because the pattern is simple, unmistakable, and easy to send even without Morse training.

Can I play Morse code as sound?

Yes. This translator plays the Morse code as audio beeps using the Web Audio API, with adjustable speed in words per minute (WPM). It can also flash your screen in sync for visual signaling.

Does it support numbers and punctuation?

Yes. The translator supports A-Z, 0-9 and common punctuation (period, comma, question mark, and more) using the standard international Morse code chart.

Are my messages uploaded anywhere?

No. Translation, audio and flashing all run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is ever uploaded to a server.
