A SMALL GUIDE TO THE SIGNAL

Read the spaces, not just the marks.

A dot is one unit of sound. A dash is three. The pause within a character is one unit, the pause between characters is three, and the pause between words is seven. Written code on this site uses a space between characters and a slash between words.

Character patterns and timing checked against ITU-R M.1677-1, International Morse code.

QUICK ANSWERS

Good to know.

How do I separate words in Morse code?

Use one space between letter groups and a slash between words when typing Morse here. In transmitted code, a word gap lasts seven dot units.

Can this tool decode audio files?

This first release decodes written dots and dashes. It can play the signal you entered, but it does not analyze recordings or microphone input.

What happens to unsupported characters?

The translator lists characters it cannot encode instead of quietly inventing a Morse pattern. The reference covers A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation.
