How it works
- Local-first: conversion, sound synthesis, and file generation run as JavaScript in your browser. There is no translation server.
- Standard mapping: one fixed table for International Morse, so results are consistent across the translator, keyboard, and chart.
- Offline-ready: after the first visit, cached files let the tool keep working without a connection.
- Accessible by default: keyboard support, readable contrast in dark and light themes, and a responsive layout from phones to desktops.
Who it’s for
- Learners checking letters, timing, and SOS before a class or exam practice.
- Makers encoding names and short phrases for bracelets, tattoos, and artwork.
- Curious readers who want a quick, trustworthy answer without signing up or installing anything.
It is not a certified training or emergency-signalling system. For those limits, read theDisclaimer.
Principles
- Private: your words stay on your device. See the Privacy Policy.
- Free & simple: no account, no paywall around conversion, no clutter.
- Honest: when input can’t be converted, the tool says so instead of guessing.
