Audict widget

Audict

カレンダーを作っていたら、本来の目的であるwidgetの為の機能が見つかったので、急遽そちらに手を入れることにした。見てくれは完全にアルファ版だけど。英単語を入力したらgooの辞書を検索して発音を自動再生するwidget。見たことある単語でも、聞いたら全然思ったのと違う発音というのはあるものなのだ。ただなー、gooの辞書って自分が本当に知りたい単語ほど音声ファイルが無いものが多いんで困る。例えばpseudoとか入力してもwavファイルが見つからない。Websterで作り直すことにするか、、、

During creating calendar widget, by chance, I found the function which is helpful for one of my primal objectives. So, suddenly I changed my mind to complete that widget. The appearance of it is completely version alpha, though...
It is Audict widget which plays pronunciation automatically referring goo dictionary when I input the English word.
I have thought the written word is sometimes really different what I expected, and that is the reason why I wanted to create this kind of tool.
BUT, goo dictionary does not follow all pronunciation especially for the one I really want to know. For instance, I could not see wav file with the word "pseudo".
I've started to think that I should recreate this Audict widget which refers to Webster...
