About morsecodes.io

morsecodes.io is a free set of Morse code tools: a translator that converts text to morse and back with audio, light, and vibration playback, reference charts, and a learning path for anyone who wants the skill and not just the output.

Three things define how it’s built.

It’s accurate. Every character mapping and timing rule comes from ITU-R M.1677-1, the international standard that defines Morse code today. Where the standard has no code for a character, we say so with a # marker instead of inventing one. Morse ends up on tattoos and engraved jewelry; a translator that guesses is a translator that gets something permanent wrong.

It runs in your browser. Translation, audio generation, the flashing light, the vibration: all of it happens on your device. Your text is never uploaded, because there’s no server waiting for it. This also makes the site fast, since nothing round-trips anywhere. The details are in the privacy policy.

It’s free, with no account. No sign-up, no paywall on the audio downloads, no watermarks.

There’s no team page here because there’s no team. The site is built and maintained by Tim, an indie web developer who makes user-friendly apps that get you to what you came for without the detours, and who thinks a 180-year-old code deserves tools that don’t feel 180 years old. The site pays its way with ordinary analytics and nothing weirder than that.
