Morse Code Translator - Tool Introduction
What is Morse Code?
Morse Code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks. It was invented by Samuel Morse in 1836 and originally used for telegraph communication. Morse code uses combinations of dots (·) and dashes (-) to represent characters, making it a simple and effective communication method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Morse code support Chinese?
Standard Morse code does not support Chinese. This tool supports English letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and common punctuation marks. To transmit Chinese, it is recommended to convert to pinyin first or use other encoding methods.
How to learn Morse code?
It is recommended to start learning with common letters (E, T, A, O, I, N), which appear most frequently in English. Use the audio playback function of this tool for better auditory memory. Practice 15-30 minutes daily for 2-3 weeks to master basic Morse code.
What does WPM mean?
WPM stands for Words Per Minute, used to measure the sending speed of Morse code. The standard is based on the word "PARIS", which contains 50 time units. Beginners are recommended to start at 5-10 WPM, while experienced users can reach 20-30 WPM or higher.
What format is the downloaded audio file?
The audio file generated by this tool is in WAV format with a sample rate of 44100 Hz and 16-bit PCM encoding. WAV is a lossless audio format with clear sound quality and good compatibility, playable on various players and devices.
Does Morse code still have practical uses?
Although modern communication technology is advanced, Morse code still plays an important role in certain scenarios: amateur radio communication, maritime and aviation emergency communication, military communication, and simple communication tools in extreme environments. Additionally, learning Morse code is also an interesting intellectual exercise.
