NameCoach is an easy-to-use tool that allows students, faculty, and administrators to record how their name should be pronounced, identify their personal gender pronouns, select an honorific, as well as hear how others’ names should be pronounced. NameCoach allows users to easily record the correct pronunciation of their name using a computer, tablet, or mobile device. The voice-recorded pronunciations will be available to faculty and students, in the courses in Canvas where the instructor has chosen to enable NameCoach, as a resource to learn how to say your name correctly.
NameCoach is available via Canvas courses, which can be accessed using myTC portal.
