About Morse Code Live

The site has four pages, and each one has its own tools.

• Morse Code Translator (homepage): Convert text to Morse code and Morse code to text. Play the result as beeps, watch it blink on an on-screen torch lamp, feel it as vibration on a phone, send an SOS sound signal, copy it, or download it as a WAV file. You can set the speed from 5 to 35 words per minute, add extra spacing between letters and words, and pick a tone from 400 to 1000 Hz. The page also has a full chart of letters, numbers, and symbols, and a new Morse word to hear every day.
• Morse Audio Translator: Translate Morse code audio into text, either from an audio file or live from your microphone. It is built to handle real recordings with uneven timing and background noise.
• NATO Phonetic Alphabet: Spell any name with the radio code words, test your memory with a quiz, read the full chart and the radio number words, and download a printable PDF.
• Learn Morse Code: Train your ear with a guess-the-character trainer, follow along with drills for the alphabet and digits, learn the Koch method, and use a simple 20-minute daily plan.

Every tool runs in your browser. Sound is made with the Web Audio API, the audio translator analyzes your recording on your own device, and the flashlight is a lamp drawn on the page, not your phone's camera light. Your best scores are saved in your browser's storage, not on a server.

There are no accounts, and we do not keep a profile of you. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to see which pages are useful, and we may show ads from Google AdSense. You can read the full details in the privacy policy.

The Morse code chart follows the international standard, ITU-R M.1677-1. A few extra symbols, such as $ and _, come from common usage rather than the standard. The NATO code words are the ones radio operators use, and the pages link to the official sources. This is reference material for learning, not official training. If you spot a mistake, please tell us and we will review it.

The pages are written for ham radio beginners, students, teachers, puzzle and game fans, and anyone who has ever wanted to send a message with a flashlight.

Morse Code Live is free. To help cover hosting and the time it takes to keep the site running, it may show ads from Google AdSense. Ads do not change any translation, and we do not choose or endorse the ads you see. See the disclaimer for more.

The site is built and maintained by one person, Arun Kumar, who reads every email personally. When a visitor reports a mistake or a bug, it gets looked at and fixed if it is confirmed. If something is wrong or confusing, or you have an idea for a new tool, the contact page goes straight to that inbox.
