Decode Morse code to text

Paste a line of dots and dashes and this decoder turns it back into readable text. Put a space between each letter and a slash between words, and the tool matches every sequence to its letter, digit or punctuation mark. It is the partner to writing text as Morse, handy for solving a signal you have received or checking your own keying. The message is decoded right here in the page, never uploaded.

Formatting your input

Use one space between letters and a slash, optionally padded with spaces, between words so the groups line up correctly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I format Morse to decode it?

Separate the letters with single spaces and the words with a slash. Each dot-dash group is matched to its character.

What if a group is not recognised?

Sequences with no Morse match are skipped, so check the dots and dashes and the spacing if a character goes missing.
