More importantly, how do you Google for it?

It's pronounced "cap enn proto". Cap'n is a contraction, you just leave sounds out of the fully expanded word.

you can search for cap'n proto in any number of ways, including its literal name [ cap'n proto ] or [ capn proto ] or [ captain proto ].

At $dayjob we use capnproto as our primary interchange format. I google for 'capnp'.
