Inclusion, Identity, Representation
A graduate’s name is more than just words—it represents their identity, heritage, and hard work. Yet too often, names are mispronounced on one of the most important days of their lives.
That’s why we pioneered a new way to ensure names are pronounced correctly on their big day. With Tassel, schools can ensure every graduate's name is announced correctly, making their moment truly special.
Save time while ensuring accuracy
With AI and our proprietary multilingual models—powered by a growing database of over 2 million names, phonemes, and linguistic patterns across multiple languages—our platform allows students to hear exactly how their names will be pronounced as they cross the stage.
And if our model doesn’t get it right the first time, graduates can adjust the pronunciation and hear it instantly. This seamless process speeds up quality assurance and gives students peace of mind.

How it works
Step 1
During registration, graduates provide phonetic spelling of their name.
Step 2
Based on the phonetic spelling provided, we generate three variations of the name announcement to account for different pronunciation possibilities.
Step 3
If none of the generated pronunciations are correct, graduates have the option to submit an audio recording of their name, ensuring our team can pronounce it accurately on their big day.

We've done the research so you don't have to
In our recent survey, 69% rated correct name pronunciation at graduation as highly important. Yet, 57.7% of respondents had experienced their names mispronounced at formal events.
