We can give you a hint, it’s a Forvo user and editor too.

Have you tried Forvo in your iPhone? Now it’s the time because we have reduced the price for our Apps until the end of 2011. The apps for Spanish, English, French, Chinese, Portuguese and German are completely free while the Full Forvo Pronunciation App with all the languages and more features it’s only $0,99.

You can check all the information at our iPhone website. Hope you like them and use them to help you learning and pronouncing words in many languages.

En Forvo queremos incorporar a nuestro equipo un programador con experiencia en PHP. Las posibilidades de incorporación son múltiples, aunque es deseable cierta cercanía a Bilbao / San Sebastián y hablar español. Freelances y otras modalidades también son tenidos en cuenta. Si os apetece colaborar en uno de los proyectos más interesantes del momento podéis contactar con nosotros.

(English resume: Forvo is hiring a php developer, Spanish is a must)

Promt, creator of popular translation services has teamed up with Forvo adding Forvo pronunciations into their translation software. This is the first translation service that is powered by Forvo native speakers giving the users the real pronunciation of more than 1,000,000 words in 200 languages.

This new service is backed up by the revamped Forvo API. More than 1,000 developers are also using Forvo API for other interesting projects.

Promt Press release in Russian.

Created by Alexander. You never stop surprising us.

Forvo.com is the greatest resource
Of words, names and phrases and sounds, of course.
You can search and you’ll find every word seen around
You just click on the play button and make the word sound!

Language is the best way to understand any nation,
And the most important part of it is Pronunciation.
Long live Forvo, the best usage of multimedia,

We have just added new languages to Forvo. You can now add and pronounce words in:

- Nogai
- Jamaican Patois
- Gan Chinese
- Burushaski
- Shoshoni
- Silesian
- Okinawan
- Minangkabau

… and more to come over the next weeks.

We are celebrating these days our third year online and coinciding with this anniversary we have reached an amazing number of pronunciations: 1,000,000. We have no words to thank you for making this possible but we have a graphic instead :)

Our friend Asier has created this nice infographic where you can see the evolution of Forvo and also the key data in our way.

Let’s go for 2,000,000!

One of the things that we love in Forvo is helping endangered languages to create a database of recordings for the future generations.

Recently we have contacted Bruce Birch from the Iwaidja Inyman project and they are starting to record some words in Iwaidja. Iwaidja is a language from Australia with just a few hundreds of native speakers.

We are still focused on the development of Forvo but this kind of projects can fit with no effort in our daily work, so if you know more like this, please forward them to Forvo so we can help them.

Keep on the good work!

While we keep on working on new improvements for the website we are happy to see more and more people discovering and enjoying Forvo.

Here is this week’s review at the laughingsquid.com

BTW: Yes, we are aware how close we are to the 1,000,000 pronunciations mark.
