What is NameCoach?

Names are a fundamental part of our identities, and pronouncing them correctly is essential for building connections and showing respect. We’re excited to introduce NameCoach, a tool designed to address the common issue of name mispronunciation. With NameCoach, you can easily record your name and share it with your peers in Canvas.

NameCoach in Canvas

NameCoach seamlessly integrates with Canvas, making it simple for students to record and share their name pronunciations with classmates and instructors. Faculty members can listen to these pronunciations directly within Canvas, enhancing classroom interactions and fostering a more engaging learning environment.

NameCoach Outside of Canvas

NameCoach also offers the NameBadge feature, which can be used outside of Canvas in email signatures and professional communications. This ensures your name is pronounced correctly in every interaction, both within and beyond the university setting.
