What Morse Orbit is
Morse Orbit is a free, browser-based Morse code translator and learning toolkit for beginners, students, teachers, hobbyists and amateur-radio learners. You can translate in both directions, hear and download the signal, see how the timing works and practise recognising characters — without an account.
How it works
- Translation uses a fixed table of International Morse code taken from Recommendation ITU-R M.1677-1. Characters outside that table are reported, never silently dropped or guessed.
- Audio is generated in your browser from the standard timing rules (dot 1, dash 3, gaps 1/3/7 units). Live playback and WAV downloads use the same samples.
- Farnsworth spacing follows the method published by the ARRL.
- Decoders for audio files and images are experimental. Their method, test conditions and limitations are described on the decoder page.
All of this runs on your device. Your messages are not uploaded. See the privacy policy.
Editorial principles
- Technical claims cite primary sources, such as the ITU recommendation, where possible.
- International Morse, prosigns, non-standard codes and American Morse are always kept separate.
- Experimental features are labelled and their limits stated.
- No invented statistics, reviews or credentials.

Not an emergency service
Morse Orbit is for learning and fun. It is not certified communication equipment and must not be relied on in an emergency.
