Optional add-on

Every name pronounced correctly

Each student gets a personal link. They hear how the ceremony will announce their name — and if it's wrong, they fix it themselves. You walk on stage day knowing every name is right.

How it works

Three steps. Most students finish in under a minute on their phone.

01

Students get a personal link

Share a unique URL with each student. They open it on their phone — no app, no account, no password.

02

They listen, then approve or fix

Our AI takes a first guess. If it's right, they tap Sounds good. If not, they record themselves saying it — we generate two new takes from their recording.

03

The approved take plays on stage

When the operator presses GO, the student's approved pronunciation plays through the venue audio system — at the exact moment their name appears on screen.

A tiny page, built for the 60 seconds it takes to do this right

Students don't want another portal. The link opens straight to a page that asks one thing: is this how your name should sound?

  • AI takes a first guess. If it's already right, they're done in one tap.
  • Two AI takes from their recording. When the first guess is wrong, students record themselves once — we generate two refined candidates and they pick the better one.
  • Type-it-out fallback. If neither AI take is right, the student can write the phonetic respelling themselves (shi-VAWN style) and we re-render.
  • Locked in. Once approved, the take is saved to that student's record. No second-guessing on ceremony day.

Hear it for yourself

This is the exact voice that announces names at the ceremony. Try one of the tricky names below, or type your own.

Try it yourself

Type any name. Same voice we use at the ceremony.

Use hyphens to break syllables, CAPS for stress. Leave blank to let the voice read the name as written.

Or try one of these tricky names:

The demo uses direct text-to-speech. In the real product, students record themselves and we generate two cleaned-up takes — so even names the AI can't guess from spelling alone come out right.

Pricing

Pronunciation is an optional add-on to your GoodGrad ceremony. We bill it separately because it has real per-student AI costs we don't want to bundle into the base price for schools that don't need it.

Common questions

What if a student never approves their pronunciation?

The operator dashboard shows which students still need to confirm, so you can chase them down before the ceremony. If a student never approves, the announcer reads the name as written — same as a ceremony without the add-on. Nothing breaks.

What if a student shares their link?

Each link is single-student and self-revokes if it sees too many distinct devices — we treat that as a leak signal. Schools can also manually revoke and regenerate any link from the dashboard.

Can the school operator override a student's choice?

Yes. Administrators can generate, regenerate, or replace any student's pronunciation from the dashboard — useful for late additions or when a student couldn't get the link working.
