How do you translate text to Morse code?
Each letter maps to a sequence of dots and dashes, with letters separated by a space and words by a slash (/). Morse code represents characters as short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes), and is still used in aviation, amateur radio and emergencies. For example, SOS becomes "... --- ...". You can also decode Morse back to text.
