How the Morse Code Converter works under the hood
Translation follows the International Morse standard: each letter maps to a unique dot-dash sequence, letters are separated by spaces, and words by slashes in the output. Numbers and common punctuation are supported. The audio playback uses the browser's built-in sound capabilities at a consistent tone, giving a feel for real operator timing. Everything is processed locally.
What the Morse Code Converter does not do
Morse Code covers letters, digits, and standard punctuation; emojis and non-Latin scripts have no Morse representation.

Can I hear the Morse audio?
