How to use this tool

Examples
Ab 7 becomes Alfa Bravo / 7. Decoding that token sequence returns AB 7, retaining the space and digit.
Limitations
- Input supports 1,048,576 UTF-16 units, output 5 MiB and processing 30 seconds. Empty input is allowed.
- Encoding accepts ASCII letters, digits, spaces and LF only. Reverse translation rejects aliases such as Alpha, Juliet, Whisky and Xray, tabs, punctuation and malformed token spacing.
- Letter case is intentionally lost. Decoding returns uppercase ASCII letters; digits, source spaces and LF/empty lines are preserved.
- Pasted textarea line endings normalize to LF. No speech, audio, pronunciation of digits, radio procedure certification or natural-language transliteration is provided.
