Have some Sunday Fun - Morse Code translater

Type in something in box and it will spit out the Morse Code for you - I'm getting rather fascinated , for some reason, by the whole Morse Code thing. I think in my previous life I was a telegrapher in the Old West.

I had to successfully send/receive 24 WPM to graduate from Navy Morse Code school. I and my fellow shipmates often spoke to each other in Morse outside of class — that’s how immersive the training was.
