Encode and decode with separators
When writing Morse, place one space between letters and a slash between words. For example, SOS is ... --- ..., while SOS 2026 uses ... --- ... / ..--- ----- ..--- -....

How Morse code translation works
Example
SOS 2026 ... --- ... / ..--- ----- ..--- -.... - International Morse code represents characters with short dots and longer dashes.
- Spaces separate letters, while a slash separates words in EncodeLab output.
- Swap direction to listen visually: decode dots and dashes back into readable characters.
