About this generator
To decode Morse code, split it into letters at the spaces and look each pattern up in the Morse alphabet. This decoder does that for you as you type. Separate letters with a single space and words with a slash, a bar or three spaces. It understands dots and dashes typed as . and - and also the dot and dash symbols that are often copied from web pages. Anything it cannot read is shown as a question mark.
