Hi Rui, thanks for the reply, > one! Since I began to use Google Wave, I have already changed my brower from > Firefox to Chrome, so to say, what I need now is a musthave tool for Chrome,
I know both Chrome and IExplorer support also extensions, but perhaps we need to await for a long time until we have a big variety of them, similar to Firefox, which is currently leading in this field, and as far as I know, for a wide margin. > but I have not find a proper one yet. The way I translate English word of > web page is to go to English dictionary online like dictionary.reference.com, That's a good point in favor of Dictionary.com and good for us :) > which have the feature of pronouncing too, also, have the ability to > pronounce 'slept'. :))) However, it's just not as convenient as a brower's > add-on. About pronunciation of texts on web pages, I've been trying these add- ons: foxlite, foxvox, foxvox2 an myvocal. The first three are from the same author. I think I will stick to foxvox because it works off- line, although the quality of the voice is not the best.
