to Morse code and back

In the text interpretation of the code, a “section sign” (-···-) is used to indicate a space. This is done solely for ease of copying.

Attention! The built-in player works well in Chrome, normally in Opera (if it gets stuck, you can re-encode the text into Morse code, it helps), very mediocre in Safari. In Firefox and Internet Explorer doesn't work at all .

In the audio version of the message, all the rules are followed: the duration of one point is taken as a unit of time; the duration of a dash is equal to three dots; the pause between elements of the same character is one dot, between characters in a word - 3 dots, between words - 7 dots.

The sound file for downloading is presented in the formatWAV (you need to download it, not open it in the browser). It's big: for example, Morse code for sending"Greek rode across the river. sees a Greek, a cancer in the river. stuck the Greek’s hand into the river, and the crayfish grabbed the Greek’s hand.” weighs in it 209 KB(although it contains only835 bit information).

Morse code is a method of encoding characters that allows operators to send messages using a series of long and short electrical signals, or in other words, using dots and dashes.

Who invented Morse code?

Samuel F. B. Morse and his assistant Alfred Vail are considered the inventors of Morse code.

When was Morse code invented?

Morse code was developed in the 1830s and improved in the 1840s.

What was the first message sent using Morse code?

The first official message was: “What hath God wrought” (in Russian: Your deeds are wonderful, Lord!). It was sent by Samuel F. B. Morse on May 24, 1844, at the opening of the Baltimore-Washington telegraph line.

What is Morse code used for?

In the past, Morse code was used very widely, especially in the army. Today, Morse code has limited applications, but it is still used in aviation, among amateur radio operators, and as an assistive technology for people with disabilities.

How to use Morse code?

Morse code can be used different ways, for example, with pen and paper, with light and sound, or even with the eyes or fingers.

How to learn Morse code?

You can learn Morse code by listening to audio recordings of the code, as well as by using word memorization techniques that can be found on various websites. One of best methods The Gboard keyboard from Google became the first choice for learning Morse code in 2019. You can practice online for free with Morse code exercises provided by the Google Creative Lab.

How to read Morse code?

If you don't have enough experience reading Morse code, you can look up the corresponding characters in a Morse code table, or simply use a Morse code translator.

How to translate Morse code?

If you want to translate or decipher Morse code and do not know how to read it, you can simply use an online Morse code translator. With the help of a Morse code translator, you can easily decipher the code and read the text in Russian.

What is a Morse code translator?

Morse code translator allows anyone to translate Morse code into text and easily decode the message written in the code. With the help of an online Morse code translator, anyone can translate simple text in Russian or another language into Morse code and vice versa. Do you remember the Nokia SMS ringtone? If you want to feel nostalgic, try deciphering the code "... -- ..." and then play the sound. What if you need to decipher a secret message in Morse code or come across an Easter egg with a code in the game? A Morse code translator is at your service 7/24 if you have an Internet connection and a desire to learn Morse code.

There are many options for deciphering the SOS distress signal - “Save Our Souls”, “Save Our Ship”, “Swim Or Sink”, “Stop Other Signals”, “Save From Death”. But all of them are just mnemonics, invented for better memorization, whereas when this signal was adopted as a standard signal at the International Radiotelegraph Conference of 1906, no meaning was put into the abbreviation. Even the letters SOS themselves can be attributed very conditionally to the Morse code sequence (. . . - - - . . .), because there are no inter-letter intervals in it. And they adopted this combination of dots and dashes because it turned out to be more convenient than others for recognizing and highlighting in the general flow of signals due to its sufficient length and symmetry.

Samuel Morse was an artist until the age of 34 and was not interested in technology. In 1825, a messenger delivered him a letter from his father saying that his wife was dying. Morse immediately left Washington and went to New Haven, where his family lived, but by his arrival his wife had already been buried. This incident forced Morse to give up painting and delve into the study of ways to quickly deliver messages over long distances, which led to the development of Morse code and the electric telegraph in 1838.

Morse code in its familiar form was not invented by Morse, but by the German engineer Gehrke. The original Morse code was cumbersome, although it was used on some American railroads well into the 1960s.

On February 6, 1900, a radio station located in the Finnish city of Kotka transmitted a wireless telegram to the icebreaker Ermak with an order to rescue 50 fishermen on a broken ice floe. This was the first radio distress signal in history to be broadcast at sea. The rescue operation was completed successfully.

Modern submarines are equipped with more effective means communications with the “ground world”. Communication is carried out on ultra-long waves, which are capable of penetrating ocean depths of up to 300 meters. This is very expensive" mobile connection", which requires the maintenance of powerful ground-based antenna fields that consume power up to 30 MW, and communications aircraft constantly patrolling the sky.

The SOS signal is transmitted on a frequency of 600 meters only in cases of emergency, when the ship's crew and passengers are in real danger to their lives. In case of violation of this rule, penalties may be imposed on those responsible for unjustified panic. Or moral, which is not an empty phrase in the maritime community. Or material - when the ships that came to help suffer significant material losses. However, there is an exception to this immutable rule. The captain of the ship in some cases can transmit information on a “sonic frequency” during three fixed “minutes of silence” about the emergence of a serious threat to ships in the region. These could be messages about malfunctioning lighthouses, volcanic activity, pirate activity, sunken ships...

To speed up radio communications, abbreviations, three-letter "Q-codes" and numerous slang expressions were introduced into widespread use. When the Q code is transmitted in the form of a question or statement, its meaning changes. IN voice communication The SOS signal is not used, Mayday is the distress signal. It is prohibited to give an SOS signal unless there is a real threat to the life of people or a vessel at sea.

P.S. It should be noted that although the Russian Morse code partially coincides with the Latin one, there are still some differences (I compared it on the Russian and English pages of Wikipedia - you can also see code tables there). For example:

• the symbol "dot" in the Russian version: · · · · · · , and in Latin: · – · – · –
• comma in Russian: · − · − · − , and in Latin: – – · · – –
• Exclamation point in Russian: − − · · − − , and in Latin: – · – · – –
• the opening bracket in Latin: – · – – ·, and the closing bracket – · – – · –, and in Russian both brackets are the same: – · – – · –
• some symbols like & + _ $ are only in the Latin version

Therefore, in case of controversial issues, for example, converting the code − − · · − − into an exclamation mark (in the Russian version) or into a comma (in the Latin version), preference is given to the Russian version, since since you are reading this message in Russian, it is assumed that The Russian version is more important for you.

At the same time, since in Russian there is no such necessary sign as + (and for some it may be more necessary $ :), then I added this sign to the Russian encoding as well. If this option does not suit you, if you have minimal knowledge of Javascript and HTML, you can always adjust this script to suit your needs.

By the way, this is my first creation in the Javascript language and there are probably a lot of shortcomings in it. Do not judge strictly:).

In this material I will tell you about the best online Morse code translators on the Internet, and how to work with them. Despite the fact that Morse code has already fallen out of mass use, it still finds its use in the navy, in the work of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and also as a means of communication between many radio amateurs. The process of letter-by-letter conversion of words (phrases) into Morse code can take a long time, so to speed up this process it is worth using special network online services, allowing us to get a Morse code translation of the words we need in a split second.

What do you need to know about the operation of Morse code converter services?

There are a sufficient number of services on the network that allow you to perform both instant transformation of the necessary words and phrases into Morse code, and the required reverse conversion from Morse code into the text we are familiar with.

Working with these services is quite simple: you go to such a resource, insert the text (or Morse code) needed for transformation into a special window, click on the translation button, and almost instantly get the desired result.

At the same time, some services allow you not only to perform online translation into Morse code, but also to listen to the audio form of this code, if necessary downloading it to your PC as an audio file.

Let's take a closer look at popular online Morse code translators.

Telegraphist.ru – Morse code tutorial online

1. Working with the site is quite simple. You insert the text of the radiogram on the left to convert it into Morse code (or Morse code into the window on the right for the reverse operation).
2. Next, select the language (Russian or English), and click on the corresponding arrow button to carry out the translation procedure.
3. The resource also invites you to listen to the sound of the existing Morse code using the corresponding sound playback button.

Boyslife.org - a game form of teaching Morse code

The popular international entertainment portal boyslife.org offers users a convenient tool for displaying Morse code symbols for letters of the Latin alphabet. And also the opportunity to test your knowledge of Morse code using special tests.

When you go to the resource, you will see a virtual keyboard in which each letter (number) on a key will have a corresponding Morse code. To test your knowledge of Morse code, press the “Test 1: Listen and Guess” key (you are asked to listen to the Morse code, and then guess what number or letter it is), or “Test 2: Morse the letter” (you need to type the required letter or number in Morse code).

Bestfree.ru – convert text to Morse code and vice versa

To perform a simple and convenient conversion of text into Morse code, you should use the bestfree.ru service. The service has a simple and convenient Russian-language interface, allowing you to easily translate text from standard Cyrillic and Latin forms into Morse code and vice versa.

1. To work with services, log in to bestfree.ru.
2. Select the desired language and conversion direction.
3. Enter the required text in the appropriate window and click on the “Convert” button.

Morsify.net – international online Morse code translator

The international service morsify.net is a Morse code translator, with an audio component that allows you to reproduce the sound of the Morse code we have (or received as a result of translation).

The service's working screen is divided into two windows. On the left you can enter the text you need in Cyrillic or Latin, and on the right the corresponding Morse code will be automatically displayed.

To play Morse code, click on the “Play” button (with an arrow) at the top.

4txt.ru – domestic service for transforming text into Morse code

And the last service that I want to talk about in this material is 4txt.ru. Its functionality is reminiscent of the morsify.net service described above, while the automatic transformation of text into Morse code here works only in one direction - from Cyrillic (Latin) to Morse code.

Otherwise, the service has classic tools for services of this type.

Conclusion

Almost all online Morse code translators that I listed above allow us to transform the text we need into the form of Morse code and vice versa (with the exception of the 4txt.ru service, which works unilaterally). Among all the listed services, I would like to draw the reader’s attention to the services telegraphist.ru and morsify.net. Allowing you not only to translate the desired text into Morse code, but also to listen to the sound of the resulting result, which is useful when training the perception of Morse code by ear (listening).
