Paste dots and dashes here and this decoder returns plain text. It is forgiving about formatting: periods or hyphens, single or multiple spaces between letters, and either a forward slash or a double space between words all work, because real-world Morse transcriptions are rarely tidy. Sequences that do not match any International Morse character are reported rather than quietly dropped, which is important when you are checking a transcription by ear — a missed dot turns U (..-) into A (.-) and changes the whole word. Decoding is case-independent and happens as you type, so you can correct a transcription bit by bit and watch the message resolve.
