About this tool
Uses standard International Morse Code: letters within a word are separated by a single space, and words are separated by a forward slash (/). Text input is uppercased automatically, since Morse doesn't distinguish case; any character with no Morse equivalent is skipped. When decoding, pasted Morse written with middle dots (·), minus signs or underscores, | between words, line breaks between words, or wider gaps between words than between letters is understood too. Playback follows standard Morse timing ratios — a dash is 3 units long, the gap between symbols in a letter is 1 unit, between letters is 3 units, and between words is 7 units — generated live with the Web Audio API, not a recorded sound file.
