Although you could also use it to encrypt small texts. If you do so, remember that morse code is an international standard and that makes this encryption method not really secure
 
Usage: Enter the text or morse code into the corresponding (upper) box.
The correct translation should appear in real time in the box below. If not, click the button "transform".

ATTENTION:
Spaces between the words in morse code are symbolized with " & ".
The letters in morse code are separated with normal spaces.
