Give us more Proper Names ...

Ever wondered how the Indian name "Lata" or "Latha" is pronounced? Or how should you pronounce the name of the city of "Nice" in France?

Did you know that a simple name like "Anna" has 15 different pronunciations depending on the country that the person is originally from?

Not pronouncing a name correctly can be annoying to the person you are addressing and embarrassing for yourself. The other person may also dismiss you as ignorant or condescending.

The Ekalipi database is designed to solve these problems and more. Better yet the word is shown in the Ekalipi script. In this script the spelling and the pronunciation are always the same.

Simply type in the name as it is written in the English Roman script and you will have the answer!

There are millions of names out there in the world and new ones are being created every day. So compiling the dictionary database is not a trivial task.

This is where you come in! If we do not have a name in our database we invite you to add it.

You can also provide us with a better pronunciation or a region specific pronunciation.

You can also provide us with a list of names to add to the database.

And it's very easy to do so. Our Ekalipi script only takes minutes to learn.

In case you find Ekalipi challenging, we plan to offer a service where you can record the names using your phone or PC and we will transcribe the names for you.

For names in languages with strict and consistent pronunciation rules we offer free auomated converters that will make the task of transcribing these names easier. Please see our sister site ekalipi.com for more details. We currently have converters for German, and Hindi among others.

If you are technical, we can provide you with source code to help write your own converter for your language.

Proper Names are particularly difficult because they do not always follow specific pronunciation rules. That's a good reason why dictionaries of proper names have not been available so far.

So please help us in this wonderful adventure.
Once our database reaches critical mass, people will wonder how they ever lived without our pronunciation dictionary of names.
