inogolo: Name Pronunciations 3.0.1

inogolo is a comprehensive resource dedicated to the English pronunciation of names of individuals, places, and various entities. This app grants users access to an extensive collection of pronunciations, with the majority accompanied by audio clips, all in English.

Users can effortlessly explore the pronunciation guides, which are thoughtfully organized into categories, to uncover the correct way to pronounce a wide variety of names.

Additionally, users have the ability to search for specific names they wish to pronounce. It's important to note that the name search feature will search through the complete set of names, including those not featured in the guides.

To streamline accessibility, users can save selected names by simply tapping the star icon next to the desired name; these names will then be conveniently stored in a favorites list for easy access.

The inogolo app serves two primary objectives:

• To provide an intuitive tool designed to assist English speakers in accurately pronouncing challenging and commonly mispronounced names. This feature is particularly valuable for non-native English speakers.
• To offer an easy-to-use tool enabling users to pronounce common English names more effectively. This is particularly beneficial as many English names appear to follow no consistent phonetic rules.

A few noteworthy details:

• For user convenience, phonetic pronunciations are rendered using a respelled transcription that does not incorporate any special characters, signs, or symbols typically found in dictionaries or the International Phonetic Alphabet.
• Pronunciations of names originating from non-English speaking countries are 'anglicized' to varying degrees and are delivered in American English with a General American accent. The intention is not to mimic accents from Spanish, German, Chinese, or Polish languages but rather to provide users with a reliable tool for achieving essentially correct name pronunciations.

The inogolo mobile app is powered by inogolo.com, which is owned by inogolo, LLC.
