Inside a character
A dot is one unit. A dash is three. The quiet gap between parts of the same character is one unit.

Hear rhythm, not just dots and dashes
Morse is a timing system. Start slowly, listen for whole character patterns, and keep word gaps clearly longer than letter gaps.
Learn the timing method- Use 12 WPM while learning, then increase gradually.
- Compare sound and visible code without auto-play.
- Practice short words before long messages.
04 / QUESTIONS
Morse translator FAQ
How do I translate text to Morse code?+
Type in the Text panel. The Morse panel updates immediately, using one space between letters and a slash between words.
Can this translate Morse code back to text?+
Yes. Edit or paste dots and dashes in the Morse panel and the Text panel updates automatically. You do not need to choose a decode mode.
What do spaces and slashes mean in Morse code?+
A single space separates encoded letters in this tool. A slash separates words. During playback, the standard timing is one unit inside a character, three units between characters and seven units between words.
Is my message uploaded?+
No. Translation, playback and file generation run in your browser. Visitor text and Morse input are not sent to our server, database or analytics.
Can I download Morse code as audio?+
Yes. Set the speed, tone and volume, then choose WAV. The file is generated locally from the same timing used for playback.
