Today we're sharing our guide for adding audio name badges and pronunciation guides to email signatures, promoted by the #SayMyName project which aims to improve equality, diversity, and broader discussions about respecting culturally diverse identities and de-colonising higher ed./academia!

The background is dark purple with white text and images of two screenshots from the Name Coach website. The first screenshot shows the homepage for "Name Coach" with the navigation bar at the top. The dropdown menu under "Our Services" is displayed, showing options such as Business, Education, and Personal Namebadge. The second screenshot, positioned below the first, shows the section for creating a personal Namebadge. A purple button labeled "Get your Namebadge" is highlighted. Instructions are listed to the left of the screenshots in white text, detailing steps to navigate the website. An orange arrow connects the steps with the corresponding sections of the screenshots. Instruction text reads:
1. Go to the Name Coach website
2.Go to 'Our Services' from the homepage ribbon
3. Select 'Personal Name Badge' from the drop down menu
4. Click 'Get my name badge'. You'll then be presented with a form...

The image has a dark blue background with white text instructions in the upper section. It guides users on how to complete a form, with an emphasis on recording a name badge pronunciation. A small section at the bottom right contains a screenshot demonstrating the interface for recording name pronunciations with options such as using a phone, web recorder, or file uploader. Instructions for recording a name badge pronunciation with options, text reads:
5. Complete the form as required, and then at the end of this you can record your name badge
As well as recording your name badge, you can also add pronouns and the phonetic spelling of your name (optional)
At the end of the form you can record your name badge in one of three ways

Three buttons on screenshot of form are highlighted, they read: Phone. Web Recorder. Uploader.

The image is divided into two main sections, each illustrating instructions for recording a name badge on a website. The left side is a text block with steps and instructions. The right side shows two screenshots from the website interface. In the text block on the left, a step-by-step guide details how to record your name badge using a ‘Web Recorder’ or upload an audio file. The top right screenshot shows a selection interface with options labeled "Phone," "Web Recorder," and "Uploader." The "Web Recorder" is selected, marked with a red arrow. Below is a recording interface with a timer and a "Record" button marked with a red arrow.
The bottom right screenshot displays the "Uploader" option selected, pointed out by a pink arrow. Below is an upload area with dashed borders, instructing users to drag a file or “Browse for file." It supports ".mp3," ".mp4," ".m4a," and ".wav" file formats.

Instruction text reads:
6. Record your name badge
* To record your name badge directly via the website, select ‘Web Recorder’ and follow the instructions on the site (see top right image).
* If you prefer, you can upload an audio file of your name pronunciation instead - meaning you can use text-to-speech tools to create the audio for you.To do this, select ‘Uploader’ and upload your audio file into the drag and drop area (see bottom right image).
* You can listen to your recording and re-record as needed.
7. Once you have completed your recording click ‘Submit’ and finish to see the Name Coach dashboard with your name badge

Did you know you can add an audio clip of your name pronunciation to your LinkedIn profile? We recently learnt about this tool from the Say My Name project, and so we've put together a step-by-step guide to show you how you can use tech to create an inclusive profile!

Purple graphic with white text about adding name pronunciation to LinkedIn profiles for inclusion, by the British Psychological Society Cyberpsychology Section.

Instructional graphic showing the LinkedIn mobile app “Edit intro” screen with a focus on adding name pronunciation and pronouns. The left side displays a form titled “Edit intro” with sections for “Basic info,” including fields for First name, Last name, Additional name, and Headline. A highlighted “+ Add name pronunciation” link appears under “Name pronunciation,” indicated by a bold red arrow pointing downward. Below, a “Pronouns” dropdown field is emphasized with a pink arrow, along with helper text “Let others know how to refer to you” and a link to “Learn more about gender pronouns.” A blue “Save” button is visible at the bottom. On the right, white text on a dark purple background reads: “4. Tap ‘+ Add Name Pronunciation’. You can add your pronouns here too! This is a simple step you can take towards inclusive best practice!”

Instructional graphic demonstrating how to record name pronunciation in the LinkedIn mobile app. The left side shows the “Edit intro” screen with “Basic info” fields (First name, Last name, Additional name). A recording interface is visible at the bottom with text “Hold to record” and “Slide away to cancel,” along with a large blue circular microphone icon labeled “Record your name.” A red arrow points downward toward the microphone button. On the right, white text on a dark purple background reads: “5. Tap and hold the recording button (microphone icon) to record your name - stop holding/release the button to stop recording. You have up to 10 seconds total for audio.”

Designing a presentation or poster for Cyber26? Make sure you consider accessibility ☺️⭐️ We've put together some guidence to support our presenters to ensure their content is accessible for our delegates! #Cyber26 #Cyberpsychologyconference #accessibility

Long Description:

The image presents a slide about "Formatting: The Three Levels." The background is off-white with predominantly purple and blue text. At the top, a bold, large title reads "Formatting: The Three Levels" in purple. Below the title, there are bullet points explaining the three-levels model as a structural principle.

The slide includes an example framed in a thin black border. The example contains:

A main title "This is a Section Title" in large, bold blue text.
Two subheadings in purple: "This is a subheading" and "This is another subheading."
Body text beneath each subheading in smaller, black font, explaining structural writing with sections and sub-sections.
In the bottom left corner, a small illustration of a person holds a pen and book while kneeling.

Alt-text:

Slide showing text about formatting with a three-levels model, including titles, subheadings, and body text examples in different colors and sizes.

Transcribed Text:

Formatting: The Three Levels

The three-levels model is a structural principle based around three levels of text: title(s), sub-headings and body content
If you design three distinctive appearances for these (e.g., sizes, colour, bold), it helps the reader find their way around the content
Example...

This is a Section Title

This is a subheading
This is some body-text. Most of the writing on your poster will be body-text, naturally. But that text can be broken up into sections (e.g., boxes) and then further sub-divided into sub-sections. This is a fairly basic example but it gives an idea.

This is another subheading
And this is some more body-text. All three levels of text in this example are using the same font (Helvetica) - but with different weights, different colours, and different sizes.
