Changelog

Every change to MorseCode Convert, newest first, with the date it shipped. New features, fixes and removals, kept current.

September 11, 2026

  • Fixed

    The image translator now reads a screenshot of Morse typed as dots and dashes. It used to turn every symbol into its own letter, so SOS came back as EEETTTEEE.

  • Fixed

    Photographs no longer come back as "that file could not be read". Anything above about a third of a megapixel was failing before it was ever looked at.

  • Fixed

    A border, a caption rule or a second line of code in a picture no longer swallows the line of Morse and reduces the whole thing to a single letter.

  • Added

    The image and audio translators have a sample button. Press it to decode a built-in example and see how the tool works without hunting for a file of your own.

  • Changed

    The image and audio translators now open with the tool itself, directly under the introduction, instead of below the explanation and the contents list.

September 6, 2026

  • Added

    There is now a Chrome extension. It puts the translator in your toolbar, converts anything you right-click on any page, and works offline.

  • Changed

    The privacy policy now covers the browser extension as well as the site, and spells out that it collects nothing, sends nothing, and reads a page only in the moment you pick one of its right-click items.

  • Fixed

    Diagrams inside a page were showing the light and the dark version stacked on top of each other instead of the one matching your theme.

  • Added

    What Is Morse Code now shows the timing diagram beside its timing table, so the dot, the dash and the three gap lengths can be seen as well as read.

  • Added

    The alphabet and numbers charts now open with the numbers worth knowing at a glance: how many letters there are, how many symbols each one takes, and how many punctuation marks the chart covers.

  • Changed

    Two of the longer sections on the home page now sit on a tinted panel, so a long page reads as sections rather than one column of text.

  • Changed

    Every page now opens with a short introduction saying what it covers and where to go instead, followed by its feature image and then the jump links, so the list of sections sits directly above the first one.

  • Changed

    The blog index shows a cover for each guide, the changelog marks every entry as added, changed, fixed or removed on a dated timeline, and the About page now carries the author box.

  • Added

    All four guides now open with a key takeaways summary, and the ones with a common pitfall call it out where it matters.

  • Added

    There is now a Chrome extension. It translates in the toolbar without opening the site, converts whatever you have selected on any page from the right-click menu, plays the result as beeps or as a flashing screen, and works with no connection.

  • Added

    Guide posts can now carry a key takeaways summary and short note, tip and warning boxes, so a long explanation has something to break it up. What Is Morse Code uses all three.

  • Added

    The home page now shows how many translations the site has done. Copying a translation adds one, and the number moves as you watch.

  • Fixed

    Tables inside guide posts render as tables again. The timing table in What Is Morse Code and the speed table in How To Learn Morse Code were showing their raw text instead.

  • Changed

    Quotes, separators, code blocks and images inside guide posts now match the rest of the site, and every table on the site shares one look.

September 5, 2026

  • Changed

    The header and footer have a new look. The bar is a rounded panel with a Tapper button whose light keys SOS, the page you are on is marked with a dot and a dash beneath it, the light and dark choices moved into one button, the menu on a phone opens inside the bar with its links grouped, and the footer now opens with a sign-off and ends with the site name written in Morse.

  • Added

    Every page now carries its own cover image above the first section, in a light or dark version to match your theme.

  • Added

    The alphabet page now shows the A to Z chart as a picture as well as a table, so you can save it or read it at a glance.

  • Added

    A band under the translator points to the Chrome extension, so you can convert Morse code on any page without leaving it.

  • Added

    A new All Tools page compares every Morse code tool on the site and says which one to use for typed text, a recording, or a blinking light.

  • Added

    Every page now opens with a list of its sections, so you can jump straight to the part you came for.

  • Changed

    Body text is larger, and every answer in a Frequently asked questions section now leads with the answer itself in bold.

  • Fixed

    The numbers chart said Morse code has 18 punctuation marks. It has 16, and the page now counts them from the chart itself.

  • Fixed

    The numbers page no longer claims the dollar sign has a code here. It does not, so write the currency as a word.

  • Changed

    Share previews for blog posts now use the shorter headline, so the title stays readable at thumbnail size.

  • Changed

    The Morse code learning guide is retitled for 2027, with an updated title and heading.

September 3, 2026

  • Added

    Every page now carries a diagram: the alphabet and number charts, the timing rules the key follows, and what a recording or a flashing light looks like to the decoder.

  • Changed

    Share previews are now different for every page and every post, showing what the page does alongside its own Morse code signature.

  • Fixed

    Blog posts no longer print their own settings at the top of the page, and the posts and the blog index are properly laid out again.

  • Changed

    The breadcrumb trail now sits above the page title instead of below the opening paragraph, and the header menu lists the tools only.

September 2, 2026

  • Added

    New Morse code tapper: hold a key to send dots and dashes by hand, hear every press as a tone, and watch your letters decode as you go.

  • Changed

    The translator on the home page now shows the result large on its own panel, with Listen as the main button and the length of the message in signals and seconds.

September 1, 2026

  • Added

    New image translator: decode a picture of dots and dashes, a video of a blinking light, or a live flashlight signal through your camera.

  • Added

    New audio translator: decode Morse code from an audio file or your microphone, and download your own message as a Morse code audio file.

  • Added

    Four new guides: what Morse code is, how to learn it, common words and phrases, and I love you in Morse code.

  • Added

    New Morse code alphabet chart, with a row you can link to for every letter and a copy button for the whole table.

  • Added

    New reference chart for the numbers 0 to 9 and the punctuation marks Morse code supports.

  • Added

    The home page is now the translator itself: convert text to Morse code or Morse code back to text as you type, then copy the result.

  • Added

    You can now hear your Morse code played aloud as beeps.

August 31, 2026

  • Added

    The navigation menu now works on phones, and the current page is highlighted.

  • Changed

    About and Contact are now reachable from the top navigation, not just the footer.

January 1, 2026

  • Added

    First release.
