Namecoach is 100% cloud-based. For most uses of Namecoach the lift is minimal, and you can start seeing the benefits at your business or institution within minutes, not months.
The following Namecoach tools require no coding and minimal set-up (between 5 and 30 minutes), and can be synced to ensure pronunciation accuracy and ease of use across your organization.

In all cases, the tools are easy and intuitive for end-users (e.g., speaker buttons appear next to names in the tools they use everyday) and require no additional set-up, maintenance, or training.
