Show HN: I can never remember the English Phonetic Alphabet

Are you a non-native English speaker?

Do you sometimes have to give information over the phone? (your very long name, your cryptic email address, a Covid Test unique reference code)

When asked about how to spell a word, does your mind go blank and you have no idea which examples to give for certain letters? (Y for ... Yoghurt? D for... Dentist? Q for ... Queen?)

Or maybe you're a native English speaker with a peculiar accent, or you have a sore throat that day, or you're just feeling lazy...

Fear not, I built this for you: https://hbi73.csb.app/

You can read the spelling out loud if you like, or just let the Web Speech API say it for you.

And it's all available on Codesandbox if you'd like to tweak it https://codesandbox.io/s/stupefied-leaf-hbi73
