For the past decade, Namecoach has worked with universities, enterprises, and global platforms to help people pronounce names correctly across languages and cultures. And we built the largest verified pronunciation dataset of its kind, combining human recordings, phonetic transcription, and machine learning. We're now building Euphonia (euphonia.namecoach.ai), a pronunciation intelligence platform for voice AI. Voice agents are proliferating, but they all break on the same problem: names and out-of-vocabulary words. A patient relations agent mispronounces a drug name. An enrollment assistant butchers a student name. Voice agents lose trust the moment they get a word wrong, and the TTS providers building these models can't easily fix it. Our pronunciation data, verified by humans across languages for over a decade, is a critical proprietary asset which Euphonia turns into a drop-in pronunciation layer for any voice agent or TTS product. Universities, Fortune 500 enterprises, and major sports organizations rely on us today. We're now building the pronunciation layer voice AI needs tomorrow.

The next generation is stuck in an industrialized education system. We’re relying on them to invent the future, but they won’t be able to solve 2050’s challenges with an educational supply chain built for the 1950’s. We need a new system, one where kids learn how to think instead of what to think — and that’s what we’re building at Primer.
