Morse Code Translator: Send Secret Messages Like It’s 1840

… — … That’s “SOS” in Morse code — the universal “hey, I’m in trouble” signal that’s been saving lives since the 1830s. But let’s be honest: unless you’re stranded on a desert island with a flashlight, you probably don’t have the entire Morse alphabet memorized. (And if you do, respect.)

Enter our Morse Code Translator — because sometimes you just want to send your friend a cryptic message that says “BRING SNACKS” in dots and dashes. 🔦

What Even Is Morse Code?

Morse code is one of those brilliant old-school inventions that refuses to die. Samuel Morse invented it in the 1830s for telegraph communication, and it basically turns letters into combinations of short signals (dots, or “dits”) and long signals (dashes, or “dahs”).

For example:

A = .-
B = -…
S = …
O = —

So SOS (… — …) is literally three dots, three dashes, three dots. Simple, memorable, and dramatically satisfying to tap out on a table.

Why Would You Need This in 2026?

Fair question. Here are some actual (and some slightly less actual) use cases:

Escape rooms — Morse code puzzles are everywhere. Be the hero who cracks the code.
Ham radio operators — Still going strong, still beeping away.
Secret messages — Text your friends in Morse. Confuse them. Refuse to explain.
Learning for fun — It’s genuinely satisfying to decode messages. Your brain will thank you.
Movie accuracy checks — Is that “Morse code” in the thriller actually saying something? Now you can find out. (Spoiler: it’s often gibberish.)

How to Use the Translator

It’s embarrassingly simple:

Go to the Morse Code Translator
Pick your direction (Text → Morse or Morse → Text)

Fun Things to Try

Now that you have the power, here are some ideas:

Encode your WiFi password — Print it out in Morse, hang it on the wall. Only the dedicated get internet.
Send birthday messages — “Happy Birthday” hits different when it’s …. .- .–. .–. -.– / -… .. .-. – …. -.. .- -.–
Create a secret handshake — Tap out your names in Morse on each other’s hands. Weird? Yes. Memorable? Also yes.
Decode historical stuff — Old telegrams, war communications, vintage radio recordings — history comes alive when you can read it.

The Takeaway

Morse code might be nearly 200 years old, but it’s still useful, still fun, and still cooler than most “modern” communication methods. (Looking at you, read receipts.)
