Frequently asked
What is the NATO phonetic alphabet?
It's the standard set of code words (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie… Zulu) used by aviation, military, and radio operators worldwide to spell out letters clearly, even over a noisy or unclear connection.
Why is 9 spelled "Niner"?
In official aviation and radio usage, "nine" is spoken as "Niner" so it isn't mistaken for the German word "nein" (no) or lost in radio static.
Why are "Juliett" and "X-ray" spelled that way?
Those are the official ICAO spellings. "Juliett" uses an extra "t" so French speakers don't drop the final sound, and "X-ray" is hyphenated per the standard.
Does this handle numbers and punctuation?
Digits 0-9 are converted to their phonetic words too. Other symbols are passed through as-is.
