SayChar

Say passwords, out loud, without mistakes.

SayChar turns every character into a clear phonetic name — ALPHA, BRAVO, Zero, Ampersand — and reads it aloud, case and all. Perfect for phone support, dictation, and anyone who has ever said "capital B, no, the other B."

What it does

Type or paste any password, license key, or code. SayChar shows each character next to its phonetic name and — with one tap — reads the whole string aloud using clear pronunciation. Uppercase letters are announced as "Capital ALPHA," lowercase as "lowercase alpha," and symbols get plain-English names like "Ampersand," "Underscore," and "Right Curly."

Features

NATO phonetics

Letters use the standard NATO alphabet — the same one pilots, radio operators, and IT support use.

Case-aware read-aloud

"Capital ALPHA" and "lowercase alpha" sound identical when spoken — SayChar makes the difference clear.

Named digits and symbols

Every printable character has a plain-English name — no more "the squiggly one" or "the slash that leans the other way."

Nothing leaves your device

No accounts, no analytics, no network calls. What you type stays on your device.

Full accessibility support

Built for VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Dark Mode from day one.

Instant clear

One tap wipes the field — useful when you're done reading a sensitive value.
