I know AWAD comes with an audio recording of words. This I really appreciate. Do these come from some other service I could access? Is there any dictionary site online that provides audio files of the correct pronunciation of words? theVixen theVixen Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Is there an audio web pronunciation guide? #68722 05/04/02 02:16 PM Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 6,296 Piedmont Region of Virginia, U...

Merriam-Webster's dictionary works quite well. As for being correct, well I may still pronounce words differently from most, but at least I can now point the blame to someone other than myself. :-) Thank you. theVixen theVixen Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter . #68727 05/06/02 02:54 AM Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 3,409 M Max Quordlepleen Carpal Tunnel Max Quordlepleen Carpal Tunnel M Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 3,409 Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Aussie audio web pronunciation guide? #68728 05/07/02 02:33 AM Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 M maverick Carpal Tunnel maverick Carpal Tunnel M Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 For a comparative take, try this resource from the excellent alt-usage-english site: http://www.alt-usage-english.org/audio_archive.shtml Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
