Morse Code Translator

Type words, get dots and dashes. Paste dots and dashes, get words.

Reading Morse written down

Write each letter as dots and dashes separated by a space, and separate words with a slash or a longer gap. The translator accepts . and -, and also the typographic dot and dash.

Morse is a favourite for hidden messages in artwork because it can be disguised as almost anything with two kinds of mark: long and short strokes, thick and thin lines, light and dark beads.

Goes with

Written in the Open

Real codes, ciphers and hidden messages in old texts, art, music and buildings: the certain ones, the disputed ones, the hoaxes, and how to tell them apart.
