About the Text to Morse Code

Morse code is nearly two centuries old and still in use — amateur radio operators use it daily, aviation beacons identify themselves with it, and it remains the most reliable way to get a message through a very weak signal.

This converts text into International Morse, covering the full alphabet, the digits, the common punctuation marks and the accented letters that international Morse defines. You can hear the result played as tones at a speed you set in words per minute, which is the only way to learn it — Morse is a rhythm, not a set of dots and dashes to be read off a page. Farnsworth timing is supported, which sends each character at full speed but spaces them out further, and is how most operators learn.
