Morse Code Translator
A complete, free Morse code translator. Translate text to Morse and Morse back to text, decode Morse from a picture or an audio clip, and hear any message as tone — all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
One translator, both directions, any input
Most Morse code translators only do one thing — type text, get dots and dashes. This one covers the whole job. Translating text to Morse code is instant: type in the box above and the code appears letter by letter, then play it as tone while the signal lamp flashes in time. Going the other way is just as easy — paste dots and dashes and it translates the Morse back to readable text.
The part that sets it apart is decoding Morse that is not already text. Switch tabs and it reads Morse straight from a picture of dots and dashes or an audio recording of beeps — measuring the marks or the beep timing for you, so you never have to transcribe the code by hand. Everything runs locally with plain browser maths, which is why nothing you translate is ever uploaded and it keeps working offline.

Used by the people who actually read dots and dashes
-
“Half my puzzles hide a message in a photo of dots and dashes. I paste the screenshot in, nudge the threshold once, and it reads the whole thing back — saved me from hand-decoding every prop I build.”
Elena Vasquez Escape-room designerReddit -
“I photographed a straight-key card at a hamfest and the picture decoder pulled the callsign out cleanly. The adjustable dot/dash split is what makes it work on real photos, not just perfect clip-art.”
Marcus Feld Ham radio operator (KD9xxx)X -
“My class sends each other Morse notes as images. Being able to drop a picture in and see it translate — right in the browser, nothing uploaded — makes it safe to use on the school Chromebooks.”
Priya Anand Middle-school STEM teacher -
“Cache logs love hiding coordinates in Morse. I snap the sign, load the photo, and the confidence score tells me when I need to re-shoot it straighter. Way faster than counting dashes by eye.”
Tom Bright GeocacherX -
“The audio decoder handles the beeping clips I record for my games, and the text side plays them back at the exact WPM I want. One tool for making the clue and for checking it — no install.”

Frequently asked questions
What is a Morse code translator?
It is a tool that converts between plain text and Morse code. Type text and it writes the dots and dashes; paste Morse and it reads it back as text. This one goes further and also decodes Morse straight from a picture of dots and dashes or an audio recording of beeps — all in your browser.
Is this Morse code translator free and online?
Yes. It is a free online Morse code translator with no sign-up and no install. Everything runs in your browser, so once the page has loaded it keeps working offline and nothing you translate is ever uploaded.
How do I translate text to Morse code (and back)?
Type in the text box to see the Morse appear instantly, or paste dots and dashes into the Morse box to translate them back to text. Press play to hear the result as tone with a flashing signal lamp, and set the speed in words per minute.
Can it translate Morse from an image or audio?
Yes — switch tabs. The image tab decodes a photo or screenshot of dots and dashes by measuring the marks; the audio tab decodes a recording of beeps by timing the tones. Both turn the Morse into text without you transcribing it first.
Is it accurate International Morse code?
Yes. It uses standard International Morse for every letter, number and common punctuation mark, with the correct 1-3-7 timing when it plays — so anything you translate here reads the same anywhere else.
