How are Morse letters and words separated?

Use one space between encoded letters and a slash or at least three spaces between words.

What speed does Morse audio use?

Speed is measured in words per minute using the standard PARIS timing relationship, where one dit is 1200 divided by WPM milliseconds.

Is Morse translation uploaded?

No. Translation and audio generation run locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Can I type three spaces instead of a slash?

Yes. The decoder recognizes a slash, three or more spaces, or a line break as a word boundary.

Why are some characters skipped?

International Morse does not define every Unicode character. The translator reports unsupported input instead of silently changing it.

Does Stop immediately silence playback?

Yes. The enhanced player tracks and stops all scheduled oscillators, then closes the audio schedule cleanly.
