Interesting History
The Birth of Morse Code
Samuel Morse developed Morse code in the 1830s alongside his invention of the telegraph. The first official message "What hath God wrought?" was transmitted from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore in 1844, revolutionizing long-distance communication.
Evolution and Standardization
The original Morse code was later refined into International Morse Code in the 1850s by Friedrich Clemens Gerke, creating a more standardized system that's still used today. This version became the global standard for maritime communication by 1865.
Historic Achievements
Morse code played crucial roles in both World Wars, the Titanic disaster (SOS signals), and early aviation. It remained the standard for maritime distress calls until 1999 when it was officially replaced by the Global Maritime Distress Safety System.

How It Works
Text to Morse Code
Each letter and number is converted to its corresponding Morse code sequence using dots (.) and dashes (-). Words are separated by forward slashes (/) for clarity.
Morse Code to Text
The translator reads the Morse code input and converts each sequence back to its corresponding character. It handles both standard spacing (using /) and flexible input formats.
Audio Playback
The audio feature generates beeps of different lengths for dots and dashes, following international Morse code timing standards. The playback speed can be adjusted for learning purposes.
