If you have ever wondered to have an offline dictionary with full pronunciations (like Google voice), you are at the right place. Currently this project contains more than 500K words.
With your own words.txt
or provided words.txt
and generate.sh
script, you can mass download the words with Google voice as mp3
files (woman).
- unzip
words.zip
- make
generate.sh
executable: > chmod +x generate.sh - run
generate.sh
: > ./generate.sh - wait for download to get finished
This script is auto resume. You can stop it by CTRL+C and later run it to resume downloads. Before starting it to resume, check the last downloaded word. If its size is zero, delete it manually.
Create a directory like pronunciations.files
in your home and put A-Z
directories inside it.
In Goldendict/Goldendictng from menu Edit -> Dictionaries
go to Sound Dirs
and Add...
pronunciations.files
as sound directory.
Make sure you have a working sound player in Goldendict. To do so, in Goldendict from menu Edit -> Preferences -> Audio
set your audio player (mplayer
is default but you can for example use vlc). Goldendictng has its own build-in player.
If a word is missing, please open an issue.
