## What it does

Encode turns letters, numbers, and punctuation into Morse code: dots for short signals, dashes for long ones, with spaces between letters and a slash between words. Decode reads Morse back into readable text. The play button sounds out the code as beeps, the way a telegraph operator would hear it.

## Worked example

**SOS** becomes **... --- ...**, the famous distress signal.

## Private by design

Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you type ever leaves your device.

## Frequently asked questions
### How do I separate letters in Morse?

Letters are separated by single spaces, words by a slash (or a double space). This translator produces and accepts that format.

Yes: all digits 0-9 and common punctuation like periods, commas, and question marks.

### Is my text sent to a server?

No. Encoding, decoding, and audio playback all happen in your browser.
