Question 1

How does the tool know which direction to translate?

Accepted Answer

If the input contains only dots, dashes, slashes, and spaces, it's treated as Morse code; otherwise it's treated as plain text.

Question 2

Is Morse code case-sensitive?

Accepted Answer

No, letters are converted to uppercase before encoding, and decoding always produces uppercase text.

Question 3

How are words separated in Morse code?

Accepted Answer

Letters are separated by a single space, and words are separated by a forward slash ( / ), a common convention for readable Morse text.

Question 4

What punctuation is supported?

Accepted Answer

Common punctuation is supported, including . , ? ' ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ and @; other symbols are skipped during encoding.

Question 5

How is the audio generated?

Accepted Answer

Dots and dashes are played as short and long tones using the Web Audio API, entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
