Morse Code Translator

About Morse Code Translator

Morse code is a system that encodes letters and digits as sequences of short and long signals, written as dots and dashes. This translator uses the International Morse alphabet for A to Z, 0 to 9, and 14 punctuation marks. Letters are separated by a space and words by a slash. Input made only of dots, dashes, and separators is decoded, anything else is encoded. Accented letters and other unsupported characters are skipped, and no audio is produced.
