Morse code remains a practical skill for radio operators, emergency communications, and anyone interested in alternative communication methods. This translator handles the tedious conversion between text and Morse code across multiple alphabets, letting you focus on learning patterns or crafting messages rather than memorizing translation tables. Whether you’re studying for an amateur radio license, teaching signal processing concepts, experimenting with audio synthesis, or just curious about how information gets encoded into dots and dashes (or ones and zeros, if you’re also working with a binary code translator), you’ll find the bidirectional conversion and audio playback particularly useful. The multi-language support means you can work with Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese, and Korean scripts, not just Latin characters, which is surprisingly hard to find in most Morse tools.
How to Use
Basic Translation Start by choosing whether you want to convert text to Morse code or decode Morse back to text using the toggle buttons. Type or paste your content into the input box and watch the translation appear instantly in the output area below. The character counter helps you track message length as you type.

Working with Different Languages Select your alphabet from the dropdown menu at the top. Each language uses a different encoding priority, the tool automatically handles this for you. If you’re not sure what a language looks like in Morse, click “Load Example” to see a sample phrase that you can then play or modify.
Audio Playback Hit the “Play Audio” button to hear your Morse code. You’ll see each character highlight in sync with the audio, making it easier to follow along or verify the encoding. Use the speed slider in settings (5-40 WPM) to match your listening ability, beginners typically start around 10-15 WPM while experienced operators often work at 20+ WPM. Adjust volume and frequency to find what’s comfortable for your ears.
Customizing Your Experience Open the settings panel to fine-tune the audio. The frequency control (200-1200 Hz) lets you find a pitch that’s easier for you to distinguish, while the waveform selector changes the tone quality, sine waves sound smoother, square waves are more buzzy and sharp. If you’re studying from specific materials that use different symbols, you can customize the dot, dash, and separator characters to match your source.
Exporting and Sharing Copy the output with one click to paste into other applications. The “Download WAV” button generates an audio file you can save for offline practice, share with others, or import into audio editing software. The swap button (circular arrows) is handy when you want to quickly reverse your input and output, useful for checking your work or converting in the opposite direction.
Dark Mode Toggle between light and dark themes using the sun/moon icon. The dark mode is easier on the eyes during extended practice sessions or when working in low-light environments.
