NATO Alphabet

Convert text to NATO phonetic words.

The NATO phonetic alphabet is the most widely used radiotelephone spelling alphabet. This tool converts normal text to NATO code words and decodes NATO words back to text. The 26 standard words are: Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, and Zulu. Space and Stop are also supported. When decoding, extra separator spaces (such as a double space between words) are treated as literal spaces in the output.

Plaintext

Ciphertext

When decrypting, separate NATO words with spaces (example: GOLF ECHO OSCAR). Extra spaces (for example, a double space) decode as literal spaces.
