Understanding Morse Code

history

History of Morse Code

Morse code was developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s for use with the telegraph. It encodes letters and numbers as sequences of short (dot) and long (dash) signals, enabling long-distance communication before radio and telephone.

Modern Uses

Morse code is still used in aviation, amateur radio, and emergency signaling. The universal distress signal SOS (...---...) is recognized worldwide. It is also used as an accessibility tool for people with limited mobility.

speed

Timing & Speed

Speed is measured in words per minute (WPM) using the standard word "PARIS." A dot is 1 unit, a dash is 3 units, space between symbols is 1 unit, between letters is 3 units, and between words is 7 units.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write Morse code?expand_more
Morse code uses dots (.) and dashes (-) to represent each letter and number. A dot is a short signal and a dash is three times longer. Letters are separated by spaces and words by a slash (/) or three spaces.
What is SOS in Morse code?expand_more
SOS in Morse code is ... --- ... (three dots, three dashes, three dots). It was chosen as the international distress signal because it is simple to transmit and easy to recognize, not because it stands for "Save Our Souls."
Can I hear the Morse code audio?expand_more
Yes! After converting your text, click the "Play Audio" button. You can adjust the playback speed using the WPM (words per minute) buttons. The audio uses Web Audio API to generate precise dot and dash tones at 600 Hz.
Does this tool work offline?expand_more
Yes. All Morse code translation and audio playback happen entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, and the tool works without an internet connection once the page is loaded.
What characters are supported?expand_more
This translator supports all 26 English letters (A-Z), digits (0-9), and common punctuation marks including period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, slash, parentheses, colon, semicolon, and more.
How is Morse code speed measured?expand_more
Speed is measured in words per minute (WPM). The standard reference word is "PARIS" which equals 50 dot units. At 15 WPM, you can transmit 15 occurrences of "PARIS" in one minute. Beginners typically start at 5 WPM.
