Free online translator for converting English names to Morse Code (-- --- .-. ... .)
Morse code is a method of encoding text using sequences of dots (·) and dashes (−). Invented in the 1830s-40s for telegraph communication, it remains one of the most recognizable encoding systems and is still used in aviation, amateur radio, and accessibility.
Morse code converts each letter to a unique pattern of dots and dashes, separated by spaces. The system is designed so common letters have shorter codes, making transmission efficient.
