🔤️️ Translate to NATO alphabet​

You can now translate custom text to the NATO phonetic alphabet using the new nato types. documentation page.

How to use it:​

  1. Specify the nato type in the fields object of your POST request.
  2. Provide the text you want to translate as the value for the nato type in square brackets.
POST Body
{
    "fields": {
        "natoText": "nato-[nato]"
    }
}
POST Response
{
    "natoText": "NOVEMBER ALPHA TANGO OSCAR"
}

🔤️️ Translate from NATO alphabet​

Transforms a string into its phonetic equivalent using the NATO phonetic alphabet in reverse order.

How to use it:​

  1. Specify the nato-reverse type in the fields object of your POST request.
  2. Provide the text you want to translate as the value for the nato-reverse type in square brackets.
POST Body
{
    "fields": {
        "natoText": "nato-reverse-[NOVEMBER ALPHA TANGO OSCAR]"
    }
}
POST Response
{
    "natoText": "NATO"
}

Note: Nato reverse will omit the next character in the provided string if the next character is a space. If the next character is not a space, it will be maintained. Use a double space if you wish to maintain original spacing directly following a NATO word from the phonetic alphabet.
