Tap Code Translator
Encode letters as tap coordinates or decode coordinate pairs.
How Tap Code Translator works
Tap Code Translator handles letters into row-column coordinates for the traditional five-by-five tap-code square, where C and K occupy the same cell. Encoding normalizes K to C and emits two digits per letter. Decoding accepts coordinate pairs from 11 through 55 and retrieves the corresponding square character. The Tap Code Translator exposes its message or tap pairs, operation controls so this particular convention stays inspectable instead of hiding behind an unexplained preset.
HELLO becomes 23 15 25 25 33, so a sender would tap two then three, pause, one then five, and continue through the pairs. The translator helps learners verify tactile or audible tap sequences without manually counting rows and columns for every letter. The Tap Code Translator presents a deterministic plain-text result that can be copied and compared with the worked value before it enters another workflow.
Limits and private processing
Word spacing is not encoded, C and K are ambiguous, and invalid pairs are skipped. Tap code is a communication puzzle, not secure encryption. The Tap Code Translator performs its complete operation locally in your browser; neither the source text nor its settings are uploaded, stored remotely, or sent through an external request.
