How StageReader Works

Name Pronunciation

Graduates record audio of their own name pronunciation. Combined with phonetic guides, every name is said correctly — every time.

Professional AV Integration

Full-screen graduate slides with photos, credentials, and honours — seamlessly integrated with your venue's AV system.

Real-Time QR Tracking

Each graduate receives a unique QR code. Staff scan graduates in real-time to manage lineup flow and ensure no one is missed.

AI-Powered Voiceover

When audio recordings aren't available, our ElevenLabs AI integration generates natural, accurate name pronunciations.

Graduate Self-Service Portal

Each graduate receives a secure login to:

RSVP for their ceremony and request guest tickets
Record their name pronunciation via browser-based audio recording
Upload their photo for on-screen display
Add phonetic spelling as a backup reference
Specify credentials and honours to be displayed on screen

Supports SAML 2.0 SSO with Microsoft Entra ID for seamless institutional authentication.

Built for Institutions

StageReader is a purpose-built platform — not an off-the-shelf product. Every component was designed specifically for convocation ceremonies:

Canadian-hosted infrastructure for data residency compliance
Enterprise security — AES-256 encryption, CSRF protection, rate limiting, audit logging
HECVAT 4.1.4 compliant for higher education vendor assessment
Role-based access control — admin, presenter, and student roles scoped by institution
