Decode any Morse message
Paste Morse code using dots (.) and dashes (-), with a space between letters and a slash (/) or three spaces between words. The translator also accepts the typographic “•” and “—” characters that phones and word processors sometimes insert.
Any group that isn't valid Morse is shown as � and counted, so you can find typos quickly. You can also play the code as audio to check it by ear.
