YouGlish is a handy resource for this sort of question. 209 video clips with searchable transcripts use "NumPy": https://youglish.com/pronounce/NumPy/english ? Out of the first 16 clips I checked (which contain a few duplicate speakers), all say "num-pie". Next, "sqlite": https://youglish.com/pronounce/sqlite/english ? 15 for "sequel-light", 1 for "S-Q-L-light". 430 left to check. I recently learned YouGlish also sup…
