Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morse code and how does it work?
Morse code represents letters and numbers as sequences of short (dot ·) and long (dash —) signals. A=·−, B=−···, S=···, O=−−−. SOS in Morse is ···−−−··· — the universal distress signal.
What is the Morse code for SOS?
SOS is ··· −−− ··· (three dots, three dashes, three dots). It was chosen because it's simple to transmit and recognize, not because it stands for any specific phrase (though "Save Our Souls" is a backronym).
How do I separate letters and words in Morse code?
This tool separates letters within a word with a single space, and separates words with a slash (/). For example: "HI" = ·· .... encodes as ".... .." and "HI THERE" includes a / between the two words.
Is Morse code still used today?
Yes. Amateur radio (ham radio) operators use it, and a Morse code proficiency test was required for ham licenses until 2007 in the US. It's also used in aviation, accessibility interfaces, and emergency communication.
Does this tool play Morse code as audio?
No — this is a text-based converter only. It converts between text and dots/dashes and shows a reference chart, but there's no audio playback of the beeps. For audio, search for a dedicated Morse code audio trainer.
What formats does the Morse Code Converter support?
The Morse Code Converter converts between morse code, text. All conversions work in both directions — instantly, with no sign-up required.
Is my data safe when using the Morse Code Converter?
Completely safe. The Morse Code Converter processes everything locally in your browser. No input data, results, or usage information is ever transmitted to or stored on any server.
Is there a character or word limit for the Morse Code Converter?
The Morse Code Converter has no hard character limit — it processes text as large as your browser can handle, typically hundreds of thousands of characters. Very large inputs may be slower depending on your device.
Can the Morse Code Converter process text in other languages?
Yes. The Morse Code Converter handles all Unicode text correctly, including accented characters, CJK characters, Arabic, Cyrillic, and emoji. It works with any language that your browser renders, with no additional setup or language packs required.
