# nato-spell

**nato-spell** is a Python package that can be used to spell a string / file with the well-known NATO phonetic alphabet.

## Installation

System requirements:
- **aplay** (ALSA command line player - it may already be installed on your computer)
- **python >= 3**

Use [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) or pipx to install `nato-spell`.

```bash
pip install nato-spell

On Arch Linux, you can install from AUR. For example:

```
yay -S nato-spell-git
```

## Usage

Minimal example
```
nato-spell SPELLME
```

Spelling from stdin
```
echo SPELLME | nato-spell -
```

Increase the delay between characters (unit is seconds, default is 0)
```
nato-spell SPELLME --char-delay=1
```

Use a different sound directory
```
nato-spell SPELLME --sound-dir=/home/me/my-sound-dir
```

And finally, an example, where we use them all together.
```
echo SPELLME | nato-spell - --sound-dir=/home/me/my-sound-dir --char-delay=1
```
