How this Morse Code Generator works

This comprehensive utility functions as both a translator and a learning tool, converting standard text into International Morse Code and vice versa. The conversion engine supports the full standard alphabet (A-Z), numerals (0-9), and common punctuation, mapping each character to its precise dot-dash sequence. The decoder parses morse input using slash (/) separators for words, translating signals back into readable text.

A standout feature is the Web Audio API integration, which synthesizes authentic 600Hz sine wave tones to play back generated code. Users can adjust playback speed from 5 WPM (beginner) to 25 WPM (expert), making it an effective ear-training tool for amateur radio enthusiasts. The visual display renders dots and dashes clearly, aiding visual memorization.

For offline use or messaging, the tool offers a downloadable text file of the translation. The interface creates a seamless workflow: type a message, listen to the morse output, and copy the code instantly. Whether for educational purposes, encoding secret messages, or utility in radio communication hobbies, the tool provides accurate, adjustable, and interactive morse code generation.

What does SOS sound like in morse code?

SOS is represented as three dots, three dashes, three dots (... --- ...). It is the most recognized distress signal and was chosen because it is easy to transmit and recognize.
