NATO Phonetic Converter
Spell text out in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
Say it clearly over the phone
Reading a code, name, or reference number aloud over a bad phone line invites mistakes — "M" and "N" sound almost identical. The NATO phonetic alphabet replaces each letter with a distinct word ("Alfa", "Bravo", "Charlie"), and this tool spells your text out that way so it can be read without confusion.
For example "B7" becomes "Bravo Seven", which is exactly how support desks, pilots, and dispatchers confirm characters that must not be misheard.
Coverage and privacy
Letters map to the standard NATO words and digits are spoken as numbers; punctuation is generally passed through or skipped. The conversion happens locally in your browser, so confirmation codes and references are never uploaded.

How are numbers handled?
Digits are spelled as their spoken number alongside the phonetic words for letters, so "B7" reads as "Bravo Seven".
