What is Morse code?
Morse code is a system for representing letters, numbers and symbols through combinations of short and long signals known as dots and dashes.
These signals can be transmitted as sound, electrical pulses, flashes of light or written marks. This means the system can be used even when speech or conventional text cannot be sent.

How Morse code works
Rhythm is just as important as the dots and dashes themselves. Every duration is calculated from one basic unit.
·DotOne unit long.
—DashThree units long.
· —Between signalsOne unit of silence.
A BBetween lettersThree units of silence.
A / BBetween wordsSeven units of silence.

Can I listen to the translated message?
Yes. You can play it, change the speed and frequency, repeat it automatically or download it as a WAV file.
Can Morse code be transmitted with light?

Does the translator support punctuation?
Yes. It supports common punctuation marks, numbers and several characters used in European languages.
