Thanks to Adam Rakaska for these plugins for IE9, Chrome and Firefox. And here’s another Chrome extension.
Please note that any tools developed for howjsay must open in the original howjsay page concerned — embedding sound files within any such tool is a breach of copyright, and will be taken down.
How can I hear the pronunciation of a word?
The word must be in boldface and followed by a red audio icon: 
. Click on the audio icon and the audio pronunciation will play automatically.
What hardware and software is required?
Your computer must have a properly configured sound card and a set of speakers or headphones. You’ll also need
a Web browser that is JavaScript enabled and supports playing of WAV sound files.
We also recommend that you have a stand-alone audio player application that supports WAV sound files (e.g.
Windows Media Player) installed on your computer in
the event that the pronunciation does not play automatically when you click on the audio icon. Most newer operating
systems come bundled with an audio player. Your browser should be configured to automatically associate WAV sound
files with your audio player.
Can I hear pronunciations with JavaScript disabled?
No. The pronunciation pop-up window is a JavaScript window, and the pronunciation will not play unless the
pop-up window opens.
Do all entries include an audio pronunciation?
No, only those entries that have pronunciations listed in the definition have audio pronunciations. Among those
that do not are thesaurus entries, abbreviations, and open compounds, such as «bird dog» and «red herring,» the elements
of which are pronounced at the «bird,» «dog,» «red,» and «herring» entries. Also excluded are many entry words that
appear within other entries, such as «stillness» at the end of the «still» entry. Words that are spelled and pronounced
the same but entered separately, such as «crane» the noun and «crane» the verb, are a special case: only the entry
listed first in the results list has an audio pronunciation.
How many audio pronunciations are there in the online dictionary?
About 105,000.
Why do some words have more than one audio icon?
These entries have more than one variant pronunciation. Click on each audio icon to hear each variant.
Why do some words have multiple pronunciations listed in the definition but only one audio pronunciation?
In many cases where there are multiple variant pronunciations only the first, most common variant is offered
in audio format.
Why are only certain parts of some compound words pronounced?
This happens when part of the compound is already pronounced elsewhere in the dictionary. For example, at
the «Grand Teton» entry «Grand» is not pronounced because it is already pronounced at the «grand» entry; «Teton»
is pronounced, however, because there is no entry or pronunciation for «Teton» by itself. Similarly, at «Hohokam
Pima National Monument,» only the audio pronunciation «Hohokam Pima» is given, because «national» and «monument» are
pronounced at their own entries.
The beginning of the audio pronunciation is clipped. What can I do?
Click on the «hear it again» link to replay the pronunciation until it no longer sounds clipped. You may have to
replay the pronunciation more than once. If this doesn’t help, try clicking on the «Click here to listen with your
default audio player» link.
What can I do about the audio skipping?
Click on the «hear it again» link to replay the pronunciation until it no longer skips. You may have to replay the
pronunciation more than once. If the pronunciations skip consistently try clicking on the «Click here to listen with
your default audio player» link. If they are skipping with your default audio player, you may have to change your default
audio player.
What do I do if my question isn’t addressed here?
If you have other questions about the audio pronunciation feature, contact us by using the Web
Site Support form.
