Pre-inscriptions for the API opened

Maximum speed at Forvo HQ. After ending the beta stage, now we are happy to announce the first steps of our long-waited API. We have opened a new site to give you more information about it and also to start receiving your pre-inscriptions. If you plan to make your site much interesing using Forvo pronunciations don´t wait to ask for your free API key.

We are quite excited about the news projects and posibilities that the API is giving to you. Pronunciations for your dictionary? A better Google Translate with real human pronunciations? Whatever you want.

Last week also saw the light the German translation of Forvo. We have translated, with your help, Forvo into 11 languages and 5 more are under development. Thanks!

    I’m the author of the GoldenDict program, and I would like to integrate Forvo into it. However, I see here that an API key is required. Since GoldenDict is a program, not a web-service, do I understand right that each end-user would have to apply for his/her own API key? Is it possible to integrate Forvo into an open-source dictionary program at all?

    Konstantin, thanks for your interest. I don´t know if this answer your question but an Internet connection is required to use the API.
