We are happy to announce that one of the highest demanded features has just been launched: Favorite pronunciations.

In every pronunciation you will see an “Add to favorites” link to start your favorites list, your hard to pronounce list or just for listening them later. To see all the words you have marked as a favorite you will find a new list under your user profile.

This is a public list but remember you can hide all your personal activity at any time. You can see my favorites here.
