The current issue of the Oregon State Bar Bulletin includes a nifty tech tip about audioname, a Web
site that allows you to record your name, in your own voice, and “use it everywhere.” Single
user/individual accounts are free. Businesses can sign up for audioname at a cost of $1 per user per
month. A complete pricing breakdown is available here.
The Oregon State Bar Bulletin tip suggests using audioname to record your name and add it to your e-
mail signature. This way clients can hear you pronounce your name in your own voice. Audioname’s
service will also accommodate a brief bio. (Recording length is 30 seconds.)
Audioname has already caught on with Portland-area law firms Stoel Rives, Miller Nash, Gervurtz
Menashe, and others who appear on the company’s home page or in testimonials.
Here’s how it works:
 Sign up for an individual account. It’s free!
 Verify your account by responding to an e-mail confirmation
