Can I search for any name?

The 'Speak' button uses your browser's built-in text-to-speech engine. It works on most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Some devices may have limited language support.

Why is pronunciation important in meetings?

Getting someone's name right shows respect and builds rapport. Mispronouncing a name can damage relationships and make people feel undervalued. Taking time to learn correct pronunciation demonstrates professionalism and cultural awareness.

Are the pronunciations linguistically accurate?

Our database includes phonetic approximations for business contexts. For perfect accuracy, we recommend asking the person directly how they pronounce their name—they're always the best source!
