Morse Code Audio Translator

Type a message, hear it sent as real Morse code tones, and download it as a WAV file you can keep. Speed, pitch and volume are all adjustable, and the timing follows the standard PARIS model, so what you practise with here matches what you will hear anywhere else.

Letters A–Z, digits 0–9 and spaces. 3/300 characters.

How Morse timing works

Reading dots and dashes off a chart is the easy half. The half that decides whether anyone can copy you is the spacing, and every gap is measured in the same unit as a dot:

ElementLengthAt 12 WPM
Dot (dit)1 unit of tone100 ms
Dash (dah)3 units of tone300 ms
Gap inside a letter1 unit of silence100 ms
Gap between letters3 units of silence300 ms
Gap between words7 units of silence700 ms

One unit is 1200 / WPM milliseconds — 100 ms at the 12 WPM you have selected. That formula comes from the word PARIS, which is exactly 50 units long, so sending PARIS once a second is 60 WPM by definition.
