About This Morse Decoder

This tool decodes text files that contain International Morse Code — sequences of dots (.), dashes (-), and slashes (/) — and converts them back to readable plain English text.

It is the reverse of the Text File to Morse converter. If you have stored Morse code in a file — from a practice session, a radio log, or an output from another tool — upload it here and get the decoded text immediately.

The decoder follows the ITU International Morse Code standard. Letters within a word are separated by single spaces. Words are separated by a forward slash (/). Any code sequence not found in the standard produces a # in the output.

Expected File Format

— Letters separated by single space, words by /
.... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..
— Decodes to: HELLO WORLD
... --- ...
— Decodes to: SOS
- .... .. ... / .. ... / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. .
— Decodes to: THIS IS MORSE CODE
