Your Name in Morse Code
Type a name to see it in dots and dashes and hear how it sounds. Names with accents, and names in other alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek or Japanese, are written with their own national Morse codes.

Pause for a letter gap, pause longer for a word gap. On a computer the space bar works too. Timing follows the speed in Settings.
Decode Morse from sound or a picture
Play a Morse tone near the microphone, or open a recording. The decoder finds the pitch and the speed by itself and works best on a clean tone between 300 and 1500 Hz. An image works when the dots and dashes are solid shapes on a plain background, like a screenshot or a printed card. Nothing is uploaded: everything is processed on your device.
Set overall speed lower than letter speed for Farnsworth timing: letters stay quick, the gaps get longer. This is how most people learn.

Punctuation (ITU)
In common use, not ITU
National letters, not ITU
Procedural signals (prosigns)
Sent as one signal with no gap between the letters. Type them in angle brackets, like <SK>.
Names on jewelry and tattoos
A name in Morse is a popular design because it looks like a pattern and only the wearer knows what it says. Leave clear space between letters, so the name can still be read: in a bead pattern, use a spacer bead; in a tattoo, a wider gap. The bracelet pattern tool turns any name into a bead layout.
Names with accents or other alphabets
International Morse covers A to Z and one accented letter, É. Many languages add their own letters: German Ä Ö Ü, Spanish Ñ, Polish Ł, the Cyrillic, Greek and Japanese alphabets. The translator picks the right code for them, and marks the ones that are national extras rather than part of the international standard. A letter with no code of its own is sent as its plain letter, for example Á as A where no national code exists.
Check a name letter by letter
Every letter has its own page with its code, how it sounds and which letters it is easily confused with. Start from the Morse code chart.
