NameCoach for Students

NameCoach is a web service that allows you to voice record the pronunciation of your name, and clarify your pronouns. 

NameCoach is available to all CarmenCanvas courses, but it is up to each instructor to enable NameCoach in their course.

You will only need to record your name once, however, you can re-record your name at any time. User recordings will remain accessible and automatically sync with your future Carmen enrollments or appointments. Pronouns must be set-up in each Carmen course.
