Dots and dashes
Morse code represents each letter and number as a pattern of short dots and long dashes, a system that carried messages by telegraph, radio and signal lamp for over a century. This translates text into Morse and Morse back into readable text, for learning, puzzles, ham radio, or the simple curiosity of seeing your name in dots and dashes.

Still alive for a reason
Morse endures because it is wonderfully robust: it can be sent by sound, light, tapping or radio tone, needs almost no equipment, and can punch through noise and weak signals where voice cannot. That is why it lingers in aviation, ham radio and emergencies, and why SOS — three dots, three dashes, three dots — remains the universal distress signal, chosen because it is simple and unmistakable. Learning even a little is a small, satisfying skill with a genuine history behind it.
