Frequently asked questions
What characters are supported?
Our translator supports letters A-Z (case insensitive), numbers 0-9, and common punctuation marks including period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, and slash.
How is Morse code structured?
In Morse code, letters are separated by a single space, words by a forward slash (/) or three spaces. A dot (.) represents a short signal, and a dash (-) represents a long signal. The standard duration ratio is 1:3 for dots to dashes.

Yes! The audio playback feature plays the correct timing for each dot and dash, making it an excellent practice tool. Try listening to the audio while reading the dots and dashes to build recognition.
