    Description

    Ever had trouble spelling something like your email address to someone? Learn the most widely used spelling alphabet!

    The International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language, especially when the safety of navigation or persons is essential. The paramount reason is to ensure intelligibility of voice signals over telephone and radio links. Primarily designed for military, aviation and maritime industries, it is also very useful in retail and information technology industries to transmit boarding pass, coupons, serial numbers, model numbers, references, tickets, confirmation codes, postal codes, credit agreements, URLs, email addresses, and names.

    Spell any text using the complete NATO phonetic alphabet (also called ICAO phonetic alphabet or ITU phonetic alphabet), including letters and digits, with pronunciation in English as prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and FAA.

    Try it! Type your name or copy and paste the text you want to spell over the phone in the box above. Entries can be saved privately on this device for reference later if you want.
