FAQ

What is the NATO phonetic alphabet?

It is a standard set of code words — Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and so on — used to spell letters clearly over radio and phone where letters can be misheard.

Does it support numbers?

Yes. Digits are converted to their spoken forms such as Zero, One, and Two, and spaces between words are marked with a slash.

Can I decode NATO words back to text?

Yes. Switch to decode mode and paste the code words, and the tool will return the original letters.
