The phonetic alphabet is used to spell out parts of a message or call sign that are critical or otherwise hard to recognize during voice communication.
The phonetic alphabet assigns code words to the letters of the English alphabet so that code words can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages regardless of their native language.
The phonetic alphabet is as follows:
Press on the play button before a letter to hear its pronunciation in the phonetic alphabet
