Free Morse Code to Text

Dots and dashes are a puzzle until decoded. Paste Morse code here — letters separated by spaces, words by slashes — and this free decoder translates it back to readable text, flagging any sequence it does not recognize.

How to Use the Morse Code to Text

Features

Full ITU Morse alphabet including letters, digits and punctuation, decoded with explicit word separation via slashes. Strict input validation rejects non-Morse characters with a clear message, and unknown sequences are marked � inline rather than silently dropped.

Benefits & Use Cases

Puzzle solvers decode Morse clues in seconds. Amateur radio learners check their copy against a reference. History buffs translate archived messages. Students verify homework translations instantly.

Tips

The standard format is single spaces between letters and “ / ” between words — e.g. “... --- ...” decodes to “SOS”. If you see � markers, count the dots and dashes in that group against a Morse chart; one missing element is the usual culprit.
