Online Morse code translator with voiceover
Our online Morse code translator is not just a text converter, but a full-fledged signal simulator. The system supports international coding standards, including extended Cyrillic and Latin, ensuring 100% accuracy of data transmission in any conditions.
📡 Technical transmission standards
To work correctly with the code, it is important to observe time intervals (time unit - point duration):
- Point: 1 unit.
- Dash: 3 units (equal to three dots).
- Pause inside a letter: 1 unit.
- Pause between letters: 3 units.
- Pause between words: 7 units.
Russian and English Morse code: Table 2026
Below is a complete summary table of symbols. Our algorithm automatically switches layouts based on the entered language.
SOS and emergency codes
The most important code that everyone should know is the international distress signal SOS (... --- ...). Contrary to myth, this is not an acronym for "Save Our Souls", but simply an easy-to-remember sequence.
| Code | Value | How to transfer |
|---|---|---|
| ... --- ... | SOS (Distress) | Transmitted continuously, without pauses between letters |
| .-. .-. .-. | Attention (RPT) | Request to repeat message |
| ....... | Error | Series of 8 dots - the last word was incorrect |
How to learn Morse: The chant method
Professional radio operators do not count dots and dashes, they hear “tunes.” For example:
- A (.-): Ay-daa (dot - short syllable, dash - long).
- B (-...): Baa-ki-te-kut.
- B (.--): Vi-daa-laa.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is the sound frequency of Morse code?
The standard frequency for auditory reception is 600–800 Hz. Our audio generator is set to 600 Hz - this is the most comfortable tone that does not tire the ear during prolonged listening.
Where is Morse code used today?
In addition to amateur radio (CW mode), Morse code is used in aviation navigation (VOR and NDB beacons identify themselves by code), in the navy (signal searchlights) and in medicine for communication with paralyzed people.
The information has been verified for compliance with the international code (ITU-R M.1677-1). The converter works based on the Web Audio API, providing clear sound without the use of third-party audio plugins.
