NameCoach

Get ready for a new April tool release at UCSF!

NameCoach is an audio tool designed to aid the way we pronounce and remember names. Whether you're in a classroom, workplace, or event setting, NameCoach ensures that everyone's name is pronounced accurately and respectfully.

Imagine a world where no one struggles to pronounce or remember names, where inclusivity and cultural sensitivity are the norm. By providing audio recordings of names and phonetic spellings, NameCoach empowers individuals to confidently say and remember names correctly, fostering a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

The benefits of NameCoach are clear:

  1. Cultural Respect: By correctly pronouncing names, you demonstrate respect for an individual's cultural background and identity.

  2. Inclusivity: NameCoach promotes inclusivity by ensuring that everyone feels valued and recognized, regardless of their name's complexity or origin.

  3. Improved Communication: Clear communication starts with getting names right. NameCoach eliminates misunderstandings and awkwardness, fostering better connections and relationships.

  4. Efficiency: Say goodbye to endless rounds of name corrections. With NameCoach, you save time and energy by getting names right the first time.

In essence, NameCoach isn't just about names—it's about building bridges, fostering understanding, and creating a more inclusive world, one name at a time.

All UCSF employees will see the NameCoach add-in automatically populate in the apps section of the Outlook toolbar in both the web and desktop client.
