What is Namecoach?
At Oregon State University, we believe that everyone deserves to be addressed by their correct name. That's why we've implemented Namecoach, a powerful tool that makes it easy to record and share your name pronunciation, and listen to name recordings made by others. You can use a computer, tablet, or mobile device to create the recording. You can edit or delete your recorded name pronunciation at any time.
Using Namecoach is one way to help make OSU a more inclusive place to learn, work and grow.
