Choose a spelling alphabet and get a word for each letter.
Spelling alphabets give each letter a distinct word so that letters that sound alike over a poor line, such as B, D and P, are not confused. This tool includes the modern NATO alphabet, the 1941 US Able Baker alphabet used in the Second World War, an LAPD style set, the 1924 RAF alphabet, and the Alice and Bob style names used in cryptography examples.
Select the alphabet, the separator and whether to mark spaces. Punctuation can be kept so that a hyphen or apostrophe in a name is not lost.
Use NATO. It was designed so that it works across languages and accents, and most operators recognize it. The others are mostly of historical or regional interest.
The NATO option spells digits as words. The older alphabets only cover letters, so digits pass through unchanged.
The NATO translator also decodes code words back into text. This tool focuses on offering several alphabets for spelling out.
