What character separates letters in Morse code?

A single space separates letters. For example, ".- -..." decodes to "AB". Use two spaces or a forward slash (/) to separate words.

What Morse characters are supported?

The decoder supports the full International Morse Code set: letters A–Z, digits 0–9, and common punctuation including period, comma, question mark, apostrophe, exclamation mark, slash, parentheses, ampersand, colon, equals, plus, minus, dollar sign, and at sign.

What happens if a sequence is unrecognized?

Unrecognized sequences are shown as a question mark (?) so you can see exactly which part of your input could not be decoded.

Is my input sent to a server?

No. All decoding runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted to any server.

Can I use dashes (–) instead of hyphens (-)?

The tool automatically normalizes em-dashes and en-dashes to standard hyphens, so you can paste Morse code from most sources without reformatting.
