📄 Description

Repo: https://github.com/anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce
Live demo: https://pronounce.renlab.ai

say-it is a zero-dependency Bash CLI that pronounces developer project / product / jargon names — kubectl, nginx, GIF, JSON, JWT, Knative, Pydantic, and 540+ more — out loud through your speakers, using a community-maintained dictionary of how engineers actually say them.

$ say-it kubectl
🔊  koob control. koob control. koob control. or: cube cuddle. or: kube C T L.

$ say-it --why GIF
word              GIF
ipa               /dʒɪf/
respelling_us     jif
source            Steve Wilhite, NYT (2013)
url               https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/22/business/media/...

Why it fits awesome-shell:

Pure Bash, zero deps (wraps macOS say)
Single binary, single TSV dictionary — auditable
Useful daily — every dev has heard "kub-cuttle" said in standup
Each entry tagged with confidence (creator-clarified / community-consensus / contested) and a source URL
MIT licensed, contributing is just a PR to a TSV file

Inserted alphabetically under ## For Developers between repren and slap.

Thanks for considering!
