Invented in the 1830s for the telegraph, Morse code remains in active use 190 years later: amateur radio operators use it for long-distance low-power communication, aviation uses it for navigation-beacon identifiers, the military teaches it as a fallback, and it is used by people with severe motor disabilities to communicate through eye-tracking or switch input. Learning Morse is a gateway hobby that also sharpens listening skills.
Each letter is a sequence of dots (short) and dashes (long). The timing matters: a dash is three times the length of a dot. Intra-character gaps equal one dot, inter-character gaps equal three dots, and inter-word gaps equal seven dots. This tool encodes all of that correctly when generating audio, so what you hear is standards-compliant Morse.
Press Play to hear your Morse at the chosen WPM (Words Per Minute) and tone frequency. WPM is the standard pacing metric — 20 WPM is good for learners, 30 and up is conversational amateur-radio speed. Tone can be tuned from 400 Hz (deep) to 1200 Hz (bright); 600 Hz is the traditional sidetone used by most transceivers. Download WAV produces a local audio file you can share or loop for practice.
The flashing dot at the bottom of the tool pulses in sync with the audio, letting you practice reading Morse visually or use the tool when your speakers are muted. Because rapid flashing can trigger seizures in photosensitive users, the flasher is automatically disabled if your operating system requests reduced motion. You can still enable it explicitly, and at typical WPM the flash rate stays well below the danger threshold.
Words Per Minute — how fast the Morse plays. 20 WPM is a comfortable learning speed; amateur-radio exams typically require 13-20 WPM for casual contacts. Ramp up gradually as you practice.
Yes. Tap 'Download WAV' and a local audio file is saved at the WPM and tone you picked. Nothing is uploaded.
Only standard International Morse (A-Z, 0-9, and common punctuation). Cyrillic Morse, Kana Morse, and other regional variants are not supported.
The flashing indicator is disabled by default if your OS requests reduced motion (accessibility). You can toggle it explicitly. Visual flash rate stays slow at normal WPM, but the feature is labelled because rapid flashing can affect photosensitive users.
