How to pronounce ZXing (CORRECTLY!)
Welcome! Wondering about the pronunciation of ZXing?
My name is Franz Lang, a German-Hongkongese independent linguist, language enthusiast, serial traveller and movie buff. I am now fully quadrilingual, speaking French, German, Cantonese and English fluently. Over the years, I've also developed a convincing understanding of Portuguese, Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and many other languages. The goal of my channel is simple: to help you say any word with absolute confidence.
So what about ZXing? I used the ZXing library for a small coding project once. I love that it’s pronounced "Zebra Crossing." It’s a clever phonetic pun where the 'X' stands in for "cross," a common convention in English-speaking tech circles that I always find quite charming.
