Never miss a name on air.
Sourced pronunciation sheets for Division I basketball games. Each name comes straight from the school, so you can say it the way they do. Rosters are added as schools sync.
Schools use RosterSync free, and are credited on every sheet. Announcers use it free through Nov 30, and founding announcers get a discount when paid plans open.

Sample sheet built from official rosters. The school lookup below reads today's data.
Why a source beats a guess
AI guesses at hard names are often wrong. Every ✓ on a RosterSync sheet comes from the school: its page, its guide or its office. Any name without a source is marked, so you can check it before air.
44–59% of hard names came out wrong when AI wrote the respelling, in our test of 300 names checked against official league guides, and every one sounded equally sure. A ✓ here comes straight from the school instead.
How we tested
We compared 300 AI-written respellings from our own earlier database with official league pronunciation guides. Between 44% and 59% did not match.

Straight answers
Where do the pronunciations come from?
From the schools: player bio pages, roster pages, audio on those pages, and what communications staff send us through their team's link. Each one is credited on the sheet. Names without a source stay marked Confirm until someone checks them.
Which games are covered?
Division I men's and women's basketball games. Each sheet uses a school's official roster as of the day you print. Rosters are added as each school syncs, so a team may say "not synced yet" until its roster is read. The school lookup shows where each team stands.
How do I get in?
RosterSync is in invite-only beta. Request access above and we'll email you when your spot opens.
What will it cost?
Nothing through Nov 30, the end of the announcer beta. Paid plans for announcers and stations come later, and founding announcers get a discount when they open. Schools stay free.
Do schools pay anything?
No. Schools use RosterSync for free. You answer once for your roster, and your office is credited as the source on every sheet that uses your names.
