[User Settings] Allow User to Add Their Name Pronunciation to Profile (phonetically + audio file)

[Connie_DelaCruz]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS

---

I am a high school teacher, and it would be wonderful if all users had a “speaker” icon that they could use to record their name pronunciation in their own voice. This feature could be part of the User Profile dashboard. Canvas could also provide a field for users to phonetically spell their names. I thought these features would be helpful to staff, allowing them to learn how to pronounce students' names and provide an inclusive environment from the very first day of school.
