• Reliable pronunciation guide

  Oh and for anyone who doesn't know yet - there is this website https://forvo.com/ which has a lot of audio recordings from native speakers. You can search for a single word or a full phrase. It really helped me with Korean and German when I had doubts:). Source: 6 months ago

• Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation

  Another useful site for hearing pronunciations is Forvo: https://forvo.com/ Those are user contributed pronunciations, so there was an effort to say the word clearly. Although Youglish might be more authentic in a sense, I prefer hearing a word enunciated precisely if I want to learn the pronunciation. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• I don't know the pronunciation of some words

  Forvo to hear isolated recordings of words, YouGlish to hear them in context. Source: 11 months ago

• Accent improvement tips.

  Another possible resource is a site called forvo in which people pronounce words and sentences in their own languages. Very useful tool to learn pronunciations of new words but please bear in mind that sometimes they can be unrealistic if they are exaggerated and/or out of context. Source: 11 months ago

• Do Italians sound like Google Translate does when speaking Italian?

  For individual words and phrases, go to http://forvo.com where you can hear native speakers in dozens of languages and even submit new words, names, or phrases. Source: 12 months ago

• Is there an app to keep track of all the details when writing a story?

  Also, if you're kinda of an indie author, try Bibisco or Focuswriter. Source: about 1 year ago

• is there a computer that can only run word a processor

  If you have a spare laptop, I recommend just disabling the Internet altogether. But before then, install a program called FocusWriter - it goes full screen. Or instead of the spare computer idea, maybe create a new user account on your computer maybe called Writing, install FocusWriter and have it launch on startup, and disable that account's Internet.
