  Not a solution, but somewhat related: https://youglish.com/ lets you search YouTube videos for keywords, but the purpose is to find examples of how to pronounce words from real usage. It also works for a few other languages aside from English. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Question about learning with kids shows

  I recommend services listen2english.com and Youglish As a starting point for listening to the words and topics of interest. Random movies are not very effective in my opinion. It is better to listen to less, but exactly what you need at this point in your life. Source: 10 months ago

• Heteronyms

  Youglish is good for hearing words pronounced in context, but it won't differentiate which pronunciation of a word each example is, so you'll have to read the sentence for context to determine if it's being used as a noun or verb to know which stress pattern is intended. Source: 12 months ago

• I'm an Audiobook Narrator! Feel free to ask me questions.

  I have one producer who always sends me a pronunciation guide. Otherwise I'm on my own. There are great websites like forvo.com and youglish.com plus many others that specialize in certain languages, dialects etc. If there's anything I'm unsure of I'll reach out to the Producers and they'll find out for me. If it's place names, I'll find the place on the map, then phone a shop or two there and get them to help... Source: 12 months ago
