### A super simple javascript plugin to help others say your name correctly.

**Here's how to get it working:**

1. Download and include `vocalizer.min.js` into your website. Or just include it via CDN:

``.

2. Wrap your first name in a `span` tag like this: `YOUR NAME`.

3. That's it! You can read the backstory on this idea [here](http://atifaz.am/blog/vocalizer-help-others-pronounce-your-name-correctly.html).

The `data-source` attribute has two parameter options:

- `auto` : The audio will automatically be generated. *Note: If this doesn't work, it might mean your name doesn't exist in the database. Go [here](https://www.nameshouts.com/) and search the name to double-check. If it isn't there you'll have to use your own audio file.*

- `path/to/file` : Manually set the path to your own audio file. For example: ``.

The optional `data-lang` attribute let you select the language used for the pronunciation, by entering the full language name.

Preset audio recordings are provided by the [Nameshouts API](https://www.nameshouts.com/).
