Namecoach is a service that allows students to create an audio recording to help professors and peers better pronounce their names.
The Benefits of Using Namecoach
Recording the pronunciation of names encourages professors and peers to learn the preferred pronunciation of a student's name. Namecoach also allows students to enter preferred pronouns, phonetic pronunciations, and enter an alternative name or pronunciation.
For example, a student named "Wolfgang" may opt to use "Wolf" in class, a student named "Billie" may prefer "they/their/them" pronouns, or a student named "Gena" may indicate their name phonetically pronounced as "Jeh-nuh."
