This portal is a database that includes audio files showcasing how to pronounce a name the way a native speaker would. Such a contribution is actually far from insignificant, as any person who has to deal with foreigners on a daily basis will tell you. Just imagine the impression a PR officer causes if he gets a name completely wrong and you will quickly realize a service like this will attract more than a fair share of users the world over.

The actual database spans territories ranging far and wide, and you can always request that names which are currently missing be added. The database itself can be browsed in two different ways, too: by given name and by surname. As it is often the case nowadays, a cloud tag is part of the premises and you can see if you spot something familiar straightaway.

At the end of the day, this is a free service that caters for a real need in the globalized times we are moving through. Check it out for yourself by following the provided link and see how it can help you.
