Translate text to Morse code and back, then flash it with your iPhone's torch or screen. Type any message and send it as light, decode Morse into plain text, or fire the universal SOS distress signal with a single tap. WHY MORSE CODE TRANSLATOR: SOS? • Instant SOS — one tap flashes the internationally recognised distress signal, and with Loop on it repeats until you stop it • Text to light — type a message and the app converts it to Morse code and beams it with your LED torch or screen • Morse to text — paste or type dots and dashes (use / between words) and read the message instantly • Standard ITU timing — exact 1:3:7 spacing between parts, letters and words, so trained ears and eyes read it cleanly • Manual mode — tap out dots and dashes yourself using the front or rear light • Learn as you signal — watch each letter translate to Morse in real time, the easiest way to pick up the alphabet • Save your messages — keep frequently used signals ready to flash in seconds PERFECT FOR • Hikers, campers, sailors and four-wheel drivers who want a backup signalling tool in their pocket • Anyone learning Morse code — practise by sending real signals, not flashcards • Getting noticed at night — a bright, repeating light pattern stands out far better than a steady beam SAFETY NOTE The light from your phone's LED or screen may not be bright enough to alert emergency services or be seen at long distances. Always carry certified signalling equipment and follow proper safety procedures — this app is a backup, not a replacement. Download Morse Code Translator: SOS today and put a signalling toolkit in your pocket.
