About NATO Phonetic Converter
Converts text to and from the NATO phonetic alphabet (ICAO radiotelephony): Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, ... Zulu, plus the number words Zero through Nine. Encode mode produces one code word per character; Decode mode parses a space-separated list of code words back into the original string.
How to Use
1. Toggle between Encode and Decode at the top of the input card. 2. In Encode mode, type any text; the output card shows the joined code words and a per-character conversion table appears below. 3. In Decode mode, paste space-separated NATO words (e.g. "Alpha Bravo") and the decoded string is shown. 4. Use Clear to reset and Copy to copy the active output. The reference table at the bottom lists all 26 letter codes in two columns.
