Features
Read full description

Turn text into Morse code and translate dots and dashes back into readable messages. Hear your message, flash it on your phone, or share it as an audio file. TRANSLATE BOTH WAYS Type a message to see its Morse code as you write. Enter dots, dashes and spaces to translate Morse back into text. Supports letters A–Z, numbers and common punctuation. Accented Latin letters use their basic form, and unrecognised characters are highlighted. HEAR AND SHARE YOUR MESSAGE Play Morse code audio with adjustable speed and tone. Stop playback whenever you need to. Share your message as a WAV audio file through compatible apps. Audio messages are limited to two minutes. SEND LIGHT SIGNALS Flash your message on the screen or use your phone's torch. Choose screen colours and repeat your message while the signal screen is open. Torch signals require compatible hardware and camera permission; torch speed is limited to 10 WPM. SAVE YOUR GO-TO MESSAGES Keep favourites and revisit recent messages. Open a saved phrase, edit it and send it again. Messages and learning progress are stored on your phone. PRACTISE THE MORSE ALPHABET Tap letters, numbers and punctuation in the chart to hear their sounds. Try five-question listening quizzes, choose your character set and practise characters you missed. Use the manual Morse key to explore dots, dashes and gaps. USE IT YOUR WAY Choose light, dark or system appearance. Core translation, audio, reference and practice work offline. Online dictionary links require an internet connection. An experimental sound decoder is available in Settings for slow, clear signals. It detects volume changes rather than isolating a Morse tone, so background noise can affect its results. Microphone access is optional and recordings stay on your phone. For learning the alphabet, solving Morse puzzles and sharing messages with friends.
