- xp84 3y agoApparently we’re wrong, but that’s how I’ve read it even going back to the days it was a shareware payment provider!
- marssaxman 3y agoWait, are you serious - it really is the same organization!? One of the few ways to receive online payments back in the '90s?
- xp84 3y agoSorry, I glossed over that. This company bought that storied domain and that's all, I believe.
- marssaxman 3y agoI have never spoken the name nor heard it spoken, but in my head it sounds like "codgey".
- code_Whisperer 3y agoI'd like to think it sounds like 'cagey', which is a positive attribute when you're taking on giants.
- mcdonje 3y agoFrom their 'about' page: The word "kagi" means "key" in Japanese. Kagi is pronounced as kah-gee. You can listen to the pronunciation: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ig4VTr0rt4Q https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ig4VTr0rt4Q

- pndy 3y agoIPA [ka̠ɡʲi] > http://ipa-reader.xyz/ http://ipa-reader.xyz/ just set voice to Japanese; granted, it's not human but sounds pretty accurate In case of Szczebrzeszyn [ʂt͡ʂɛˈbʐɛʂɨn] Polish city name this tool does the job as well - sadly the voice is the most ugly one around
- q4core 3y agoka is pronounced like co in con (con-man, long con). gi is pronounced like gee in geese or like ghee.
