Upload Audio file, .m4a, mp3, etc. of the pronunciation of a student's name to their Contact Card.
Our inclusivity committee is trying to find ways to inform faculty and staff about the pronunciation of our student names. They would like to be able to upload an audio file of a student's name to that student's contact card, which they feel would be the best location for this information. A faculty or staff member should be able to open the student's Contact Card and click a field, link, or button to play the student's name. This should be accessible to faculty and non-teaching staff.

As of 10/4 all schools have access to the new Name Pronunciation feature. Read here to learn more: https://community.blackbaud.com/blogs/17/9212

Noting that the 10/4 implementation does NOT fully address the request. Additional work is needed, as requested here: https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12OR-I-3133
Please consider upvoting this idea which has the recording directly stored in BB instead of all of us having to record and upload.

Agree completely! Seems like an integration with a service like https://cloud.name-coach.com/ would also allow school's to leverage this data in multiple directory services
