The Standard Phonetic Alphabet used in Spain is the NATO Phonetic Alphabet.

While the phonetic alphabet works well for English speakers, it does not work so well if you are a multi-lingual contact centre (or BPO).

If you are working with Spanish speaking customers, you will need to adapt the phonetic alphabet.

Luckily, we have been in touch with Denise Anne Alcaraz, who has provided us with a version that she adopted for Spanish speaking and Mexican/Latin American customers.

“My team always uses the English Phonetic Alphabet, but it sometimes confuses the customers especially since we support the EMEA-LATAM countries.

I have created an alternate phonetic alphabet list to adapt to our Spanish speaking customers and it has helped a lot.”
