No explicit tool names declared in metadata yet. Check project README on main listing page.

Pronounce Tools (3)

pronounce

Look up the canonical pronunciation of a developer-related word. Returns the IPA, a respelling that approximates how engineers actually say the word, a playable MP3 `audio_url`, optional alternate readings, the source citation when available, and editorial notes. Use this for project names like `kubectl`, `nginx`, `GIF`, `JSON`, `Pydantic`, `Knative`, programmer jargon, and tech acronyms. Returns an error dict if the word is not in the dictionary; for general English vocabulary, fall back to your own knowledge.

search_pronunciations

Search the dictionary by partial word or category match. Matches substrings against the entry's `word` and `category` only — the search index (/api/words.json) carries no notes or source text, so a query like "Kelsey" will NOT surface `kubectl`. To read an entry's notes, look it up with `pronounce`. Returns a list of matching entries with `word`, `slug`, `category`, and `confidence`. Use this when the exact spelling is unknown or when browsing entries by category.

list_pronunciations

List dictionary entries, optionally filtered by category. Categories include: product, project, cli-tool, tool, cs-term, acronym, abbreviation, person. The dictionary holds well over 1500 entries and grows continuously, so the unfiltered list is large — pass `category` and/or `limit` to keep the result focused.
