# NATO phonetic alphabet

Converts text into NATO phonetic words for reading over a bad line, and turns a phonetic reading back into text.

Type some text to convert it.

This is the ICAO spelling alphabet used in aviation and ham radio, with the standard's own spellings: Alfa, Juliett, and X-ray are deliberate, and 9 is spoken Niner. The tool converts text you paste and nothing else; it does not transmit anything or handle other phonetic systems such as the older Able Baker or the LAPD radio alphabet.
