Frequently asked questions
How do I read Morse code?
Each letter is a pattern of dots (short) and dashes (long). Letters are separated by a space and words by a slash or a longer gap.
What is SOS in Morse code?
SOS is three dots, three dashes, three dots (· · · — — — · · ·), used as the international distress signal because it is simple and unmistakable.
Can I convert Morse code back to text?
Yes. Type or paste Morse code into the Morse box, using spaces between letters and a slash between words, and the text appears instantly.
How do you write spaces between words?
In Morse, words are separated by a longer gap, shown here as a forward slash (/) between the letter groups.
Is Morse code still used today?
Yes. It is still used by amateur radio operators, in aviation and navigation beacons, and as an accessible way to send simple signals.
