How to pronounce Android
product community-consensus
Android is most commonly pronounced "AN droid" (/ˈændrɔɪd/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.
AN-droid, /ˈændrɔɪd/, stress on the first syllable and one word — not 'an-DROID'.
Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
