What “converter” means here
Some tools call themselves converters but only handle one direction. This page does both: toggle the switch above the input to flip between Text → Morse and Morse → Text. The output updates in real time as you type.
Any conversion that isn't round-trip-clean (e.g. you paste text with emoji that have no morse equivalent) is handled gracefully — unknown characters get silently dropped from encode, unknown morse sequences get silently dropped from decode. You always get the usable part of your input, never a partial result full of question marks.
Features you get for free on this page
- Audio playback at 5–40 WPM via a native sine-tone oscillator in your browser.
- Farnsworth spacing — character-speed decoupled from word-speed, ideal for learners.
- Flashlight mode — the page flashes in time with the morse. Useful for teaching, and for signaling outdoors with your phone screen.
- Shareable URL encoding of the input, so you can send someone a link that opens this converter with your phrase pre-loaded.
When you want this converter vs. a more specific tool
If you're only encoding English to morse, the English to morse page is framed for that. If you're only decoding, try morse to English. The converter page is best when you're flipping between directions (e.g. while drafting a jewelry phrase or prepping a puzzle clue).
