Pick a letter. Hear its shape.
A dot is a short sound; a dash lasts three times as long. Select a letter to see and play its exact pattern.
READING THE ALPHABET
Listen for the spaces.
Each letter's marks belong together. Pause one dot unit between marks inside a letter, and three units before the next letter. The printed translator writes a space between letter groups so you can see that boundary.
Character patterns and timing checked against ITU-R M.1677-1, International Morse code. Its character table also includes accented É; this A–Z guide focuses on the English alphabet.
C, A and T are three separate groups. In text form: -.-. .- -.
