Morse Code Audio Player
Type text or Morse code and play it back as audible dots and dashes using the Web Audio API. Adjust playback speed (WPM) and tone frequency, and copy the Morse text output.
Input
Standard amateur radio range is 12–25 WPM (PARIS timing)
Typical CW tones are 500–800 Hz
Morse code
Letters separated by spaces, words by /
Guides
Type any text — or paste Morse code directly — and hear it played back as real audible tones: short beeps for dots, long beeps for dashes, with silence timed exactly to the standard Morse conventions. Playback runs entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API, so nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.
How to use it
- Choose Text or Morse code as your input type.
- Type your message (or your dots and dashes).
- Adjust Speed (words per minute) and Tone frequency (Hz) to taste.
- Press Play to hear it. Pause freezes playback in place and Resume picks up exactly where it left off; Stop silences it immediately and resets playback.
- The Morse code text (letters separated by spaces, words by
/) appears in the output box — copy it or download it as a text file.
Timing
Playback follows the standard PARIS-word convention used to define words
per minute for Morse code: a dot lasts 1200 / WPM milliseconds, a dash is
three times that, the gap between symbols within a letter is one dot, the gap
between letters is three dots, and the gap between words is seven dots. At the
default 15 WPM a dot is 80 ms.
What speed and tone should I use?
Amateur radio (ham) operators typically practice and copy Morse code at 12–25 WPM, and this tool defaults to 15 WPM. CW (continuous-wave) tones are conventionally in the 500–800 Hz range, easy on the ear during long listening sessions; this tool defaults to 600 Hz. Both are adjustable from 5–40 WPM and 300–1200 Hz.
Can I paste Morse code instead of typing text?
Yes — switch Input type to "Morse code" and paste dots/dashes directly
(letters separated by spaces, words by / or extra whitespace). The tool
plays it back without needing to decode it to text first.
Does this tool convert Morse code back to text?
No — for a dedicated two-way text↔Morse converter (no audio), see the Morse Code Translator. This tool's job is specifically turning Morse into sound.
Does this tool upload or store anything?
No. Text-to-Morse conversion and audio playback both happen locally in your browser via the Web Audio API — nothing is sent to a server.
