About Morse Code to Text

Decode International Morse code into plain text. Write letters as dots and dashes separated by spaces, and separate words with a slash, a pipe or three or more spaces. Variations such as bullet dots, en or em dashes and underscores used as dashes are accepted too.

When it helps

  • Decoding a Morse message from a puzzle, geocache or escape room clue.
  • Checking your answers while learning Morse code.
  • Reading Morse written on jewellery, artwork or in a film or game.
  • Turning a written transcript of a received radio signal into text.

Tips

  • Separate letters with a space. Spacing changes the meaning: '...' is S, while '. . .' is EEE. Three or more spaces in a row are read as a break between words.
  • Codes that do not match any character appear as � in the output, and the summary counts them, so you can find typos.
  • The output is in capital letters, since Morse has no case.
