About Howjsay Pronunciation
Unlike most other apps no synthetic pronunciation is used, with every word carefully researched, and professionally recorded.
"What I love is it uses a real human voice for audio playback, and has words for pronunciation that my dictionary apps don't even have for definitions."
"I feel like I now have a secret, powerful, linguistic advantage!"
Features:
■ Over 180,000 individually recorded words & phrases
■ Comprehensive dictionary including medical, legal, scientific, industry jargon and even current affairs and names
■ Accurate pronunciation of heteronyms (words which are spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on context) e.g, tear, dove, close, live, alternate, graduate, etc
■ Auto-complete and spelling suggestions
■ Pronunciation history
■ Favourites
■ Search definitions online
Note: An internet connection is required to download the audio and perform new searches, as the Howjsay database is too large to download and is continuously updated.

Accent
Though I like the app a great deal, why does the translator have an accent? I haven’t used the app lately, but, today I did and was surprised to hear an Italian accent. Where on the app can I change it to plain English.

Found on the web, app is alright
Hey, rather than a app, it would be more functional and useful to have this as an extension or script that appears in the options menus for the bowers, and for the long press on selected text. It’s just silly to have open an app or website. When, I really should be able to highlight/select the word and either/both long press and have “pronounce” as an option, like “look up”, “search the web”, etc. And/or, the browser menu that contains “pronounce/howjsay” as an option, such as, print, look up, etc., is an option.
