About Translate Morse Code
A free Morse code translator with a reference library behind it. Every chart is checked against the international standard, every tool runs in your browser, and the guides explain the rules behind the dots and dashes. Independent, and paid for by ads, not by the brands we write about.

How we work
Four rules every page and tool on the site follows.
- Checked against the standardEvery code comes from ITU-R M.1677-1, the International Morse code standard, and the timing follows its PARIS rule. Characters outside the standard are labelled as such.
- Private by designThe tools run in your browser. Sound from the microphone, video from the camera and the files you open are decoded on your device and never uploaded.
- Readers before advertisersNo brand can pay for a better write-up or approve what we publish. Ads are kept apart from the tools and the content.
- Plain answersWhat a message says, how a character sounds, how to learn it: the answer comes first, the detail after, in everyday words.
