SayChar
Utilities
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read any password out loud without mixing up B and D, 1 and l, or "the squiggly one." SayChar names every character — ALPHA, Zero, Ampersand — with clear case.
SayChar turns any password, license key, or code into a clear, spoken sequence of phonetic names — the same way pilots and radio operators have been reading letters aloud for decades.
Type or paste your text into the field, and SayChar shows every character next to its phonetic name: A becomes ALPHA, a becomes alpha, 0 becomes Zero, @ becomes At, and every symbol gets a plain-English label. Tap Read Aloud and SayChar speaks the whole string using clear, case-aware pronunciation — "Capital ALPHA" or "lowercase alpha," so nothing is lost when B and D or 1 and l sound alike.
Built for anyone who has ever had to spell a password over the phone:
• Reading credentials to support agents, coworkers, or family members
• IT and helpdesk staff dictating one-time passwords or Wi-Fi codes
• Anyone who has trouble distinguishing letters by ear
• Users with low vision or hearing challenges who benefit from visual and spoken cues together
Features:
• NATO phonetic alphabet for letters (ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE…)
• Plain-English names for digits and every printable symbol
• Case-aware read-aloud so uppercase and lowercase are never confused
• On-device speech using your preferred iOS voice
• Full VoiceOver support with combined character/phonetic announcements
• Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility sizes
• Automatic dark mode
• No account, no ads, no trackers, no network calls — nothing you type ever leaves your device
SayChar is designed to be simple, private, and immediately useful. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no data collection of any kind.
