Morse Code Talker
A Morse code talker that works both ways. Speak and your words turn into Morse code to play, copy or send, or key dots and dashes and hear them spoken as words. Free, and nothing is recorded.
Tap the mic and speak
Your words appear as text, then as Morse code.
Morse output

How to use
In Speech to Morse, tap the mic and talk. Pick your language first if the list shows the wrong one.
Fix any misheard word in the text box: the Morse changes as you type.
Read it as dots and dashes, or switch to Dits and dahs to see how operators say it, and press Say it to hear it.
Press Play at 10 to 25 WPM, Download MP3, or send it on as light, a video, a poster or a QR code.
To go the other way, open Morse to speech, key dots and dashes with the keys or your keyboard, and press Say it.
What it does
This Morse code talker turns speech into Morse and Morse into speech:
Speech to Morse code. Talk in your own language (the list offers 17 Latin-script languages and regions, with your browser’s own first); your browser writes it down and each letter becomes Morse.
Talk in Morse code. Play it at 10, 15, 20 or 25 WPM, save it as an MP3, or send it as light, a video, a poster or a QR code.
Dits and dahs. See the Morse the way it is spoken (di-dah-dit for R) and have it read aloud.
Morse to speech. Key dots and dashes and your device’s voice says the words, for anyone who can key Morse more easily than speak or type.
Edit and copy. Fix a misheard word, copy the Morse or the dits and dahs, or open it in the translator.
Morse beeps to text? That is the microphone decoder live, or the Morse code audio translator for a recording.
How it works
Speech to text to Morse, and back, in your browser.
Hears you
Your browser’s own speech recognition writes down what you say. In Chrome it may use Google’s servers, as any voice typing does; this page never receives or keeps the sound.
Spells it in Morse
Each letter, digit and common punctuation mark becomes its International Morse code from ITU-R M.1677-1. Other characters are left out.
Says it back
Played as a 600 Hz tone, a dot lasts 1,200 ÷ WPM milliseconds (the PARIS standard) and a dash three dots. Said aloud, a dot is “di” before another element and “dit” at the end, a dash “dah”.
Morse to speech reads the dots and dashes with the same table and speaks the words with a voice that runs on your device; network voices are never used.
Examples
What the talker shows for three messages:
| Message | Morse | Said as |
|---|---|---|
| HELLO THERE | .... . .-.. .-.. --- / - .... . .-. . | di-di-di-dit dit di-dah-di-dit di-dah-di-dit dah-dah-dah / dah di-di-di-dit dit di-dah-dit dit |
| I MISS YOU | .. / -- .. ... ... / -.-- --- ..- | di-dit / dah-dah di-dit di-di-dit di-di-dit / dah-di-dah-dah dah-dah-dah di-di-dah |
| SOS | ... --- ... | di-di-dit dah-dah-dah di-di-dit |
Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
About the Morse code talker
Can Morse code be spoken?
Yes. Operators say a dot as “dit”, or “di” before another element, and a dash as “dah”, so A is di-dah and SOS is di-di-dit dah-dah-dah di-di-dit. Switch the Morse output to Dits and dahs to see any message that way, and press Say it to hear it.
What are Morse code sounds called?
Dits and dahs: the short sound is a dit and the long one a dah, three times as long. On paper they are written as dots and dashes. Radio operators call Morse sent by radio CW, for continuous wave.
Is there a Morse code talker app?
You don’t need one: this page works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. Talk to get Morse, or key Morse to hear the words. Speech recognition needs Chrome, Edge or Safari; typing works everywhere.
Which browsers can hear me?
Chrome, Edge and Safari have speech recognition built in. In other browsers you can type, and the text still turns into Morse. Morse to speech needs an English voice installed on the device, which most phones and computers have.
Is my voice recorded?
This page doesn’t record or keep anything. Your browser’s own speech recognition turns your voice into text; in Chrome that may use Google’s servers, as with any voice typing. Words are spoken only with voices that run on your device.
Can it listen to Morse beeps and translate them?
Not here: this page listens to speech. To turn Morse beeps into text, use the microphone decoder while they play, or upload a recording to the Morse code audio translator.
Why are some letters missing from the Morse?
International Morse code covers the Latin alphabet, numbers, common punctuation and É; the talker adds common accented letters such as Ä and Ñ, and sends other accents as the plain letter. Characters outside it are left out, so check names and rare words in the text box before you send.
Trust and limits
Speech recognition is your browser’s: in Chrome it may send the sound to Google’s servers, as any voice typing does. This page never receives or keeps it. Words are spoken only with voices that run on your device, and the MP3 is made in your browser.
It covers International Morse code: Latin letters, digits, common punctuation and É, plus common accented letters such as Ä and Ñ; other characters are left out. Recognition can mishear names and rare words, so check the text before you send it. Timing follows ITU-R M.1677-1.
