Frequently asked questions
How are word breaks represented in the Morse output?+
A forward slash (/) separates words, while single spaces separate individual letters within a word, matching standard written Morse code convention.
Does this support numbers and punctuation, or just letters?+
Numbers and common punctuation (periods, commas, question marks, and a few others) are included alongside the full alphabet.
Why does SOS translate to three short groups?+
S is three dots and O is three dashes, so SOS becomes ... --- ..., a pattern chosen historically for being simple and unmistakable over a noisy radio signal, which is exactly why it became the standard distress call.
