Every Graduate Deserves to Hear Their Name Said Right
57% of graduates have already had their name mispronounced at a formal event. Tassel makes sure graduation isn't one of them.
Graduate-Verified Pronunciations
A graduate's name represents their identity, heritage and hard work. Yet too often, names are mispronounced during commencement ceremonies.
That's why Tassel puts graduates in control of confirming how their name is pronounced before they cross the stage.

Step 1
During registration, graduates provide their preferred name.
Step 2
Based on their preferred name, we generate three variations of the name pronunciation to ensure we achieve proper pronunciation.
Step 3
If none of the generated pronunciations are correct, graduates have the option to submit a recording of their name. In these cases, a voice artist will record it, ensuring your event has no surprises.
Save Time And Ensure Accuracy
With our robust phonetic modeling system—developed by a growing database of over 2 million names, phonemes, and linguistic patterns across multiple languages—your platform values cultural nuance to help make specific, accurate name-reading decisions.
And if our model doesn't get it right the first time, graduates can provide feedback that continuously improves the system. This means faster setup, accurate or quality-controlled, and pronunciation peace of mind.
