This is a great service that I introduced to my language students in Oman. As you will see in the logs we’ve been using it for quite a while.
Right now it is a reference tool mostly- and it would be really great to add a functionality which would turn it into a testing tool too -e.g. a teacher can introduce a bank of words, their students (after log in) get a random list of words with clickable transcription.
If api could me made available I would gladly contribute to working on this worthwhile project myself.
Freaking luv it! I’d like to help working on this tool. So feel free to contact me.
same as me- see the comment above
A quite useful tool. Save me tons of time when I prepared some materials for my students. Glad I tried to find a tool like this.
Display BrE and AmE transcriptions along each other will be nice. That’s actually what I originally wanted.
Keep up the good work!
