About this tool
This converter does one job and does it instantly: it turns your text into International Morse Code. Type a single word, a name, a sentence or a longer message and the dot-and-dash version appears below the box as you type. There is nothing to submit, no account to create and no delay while a server thinks, because the whole conversion runs in your browser.
The mapping it uses is the standard alphabet that radio operators learn. Short, common letters have the shortest patterns — E is a single dot, T is a single dash, while rarer letters such as Q and Z take four symbols. That design is deliberate: the code was built for speed on a telegraph key, so the letters you use most often cost the least time to send. Numbers are just as logical, running from five dots for 5 through to five dashes for 0, with the dash count growing as the digit grows.
A few practical details make the output easy to reuse. Letters inside a word are separated by a space, words by a slash, and you can change both separators above the box if the person or program reading your code expects a different style. Characters that have no Morse equivalent, such as accented letters, are skipped and listed for you instead of being silently replaced, so what you copy is always a faithful encoding of the supported characters in your text.
Try it with something familiar first. Your own name is the classic first conversion, because you already know how it should sound, and a short sentence such as a greeting shows how word breaks work. When the result looks right, copy it straight into a message, a worksheet or a puzzle, or press Play on the audio controls to hear the rhythm before you send it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert text to Morse Code?
Just type in the box. The Morse Code appears instantly underneath, and you can copy it or download it as a text file.
What does the slash mean in the output?
The slash marks a word break. Letters are separated by spaces, words by a slash, so the code can be decoded back into words without guessing where one word ends.
Are lowercase letters handled?
Yes. Lowercase text is converted the same way as uppercase, because International Morse Code has no case distinction.
Why are some characters missing from my output?
Characters with no standard Morse pattern, such as accented letters, are skipped and listed below the output. Nothing is invented in their place.
Can I hear the result?
Yes. Use the audio controls below the converter to play the message, and adjust speed, tone frequency and volume to suit your ear.
