What it handles
Punctuation
Supports . , ? ! ' / ( ) : ; = + ". Unsupported characters are skipped with a count tip.
Listen to the rhythm
Play the dots and dashes you just got, at 5, 10 or 20 WPM. Stop any time.
Limits worth knowing
Input is hard-capped at 500 Unicode code points — the field stops accepting more once you hit 500. For learning and puzzles—not emergency, radio, microphone or image decoding.
FAQ
Do I need spaces between dots and dashes?
When pasting Morse, put a space between letters and use / (or a new line) between words. Inside one letter, dots and dashes are written together (for example ... or Unicode ··· for S — middle dots and long dashes are accepted and normalized). A bare / between Morse letter groups is a word separator. The slash character itself is also supported punctuation; its own Morse token is -..-..
Why do I see a skip warning or a blank result?
Unsupported characters (like @) are skipped and counted. Illegal Morse fragments do not produce a fake decode — fix the dots and dashes, then try again.
Which punctuation is supported?
. , ? ! ' / ( ) : ; = + " — the same set as the full Morse code chart punctuation section. ASCII - is the Morse dash glyph only (not a translatable character); typing a hyphen in text mode is skipped. In Morse input, a bare / (or new line) separates words; decoding the Morse token -..-. is how you get a slash character.
What happens at 500 characters?
The input field is hard-capped at 500 Unicode code points (maxlength="500"). Once you hit 500, the field stops accepting more characters. There is no soft overflow path and no half-translated result beyond that limit.
What does WPM mean?
WPM means words per minute — how fast the rhythm plays. Higher numbers are faster. If the sound is hard to follow, start at 5 WPM.
Do I need a special keyboard?
No. Normal typing is enough. Nothing to install — no Morse keyboard, input method, or app.
How does AUTO-DETECT choose direction?
If the input is only Morse glyphs (. - and common Unicode lookalikes), spaces, and / or newlines, we decode to text. If it contains letters, digits, or supported punctuation, we encode to Morse. Input we cannot decide yields no fake result.
Do you save what I type?
No. Translation and playback run in your browser. We do not create an account or keep a history of your input.
Can I download an audio file?
No. Play is online-only in this page. There is no MP3 download.
