If the code does not translate

Check the alphabet chart for the unrecognized group, and make sure letters have spaces between them. This tool reads written Morse code; it does not listen to recordings or read photos. It accepts pasted dot variants (· and •) and dash variants (−, – , —, and _).

Hear what you have decoded

The translated message can be played and saved as a WAV. The timing guide explains the short gaps you hear within letters and the longer gaps between words.
