Pronunciation of Terms
The Say It feature lets you hear the pronunciation of words and phrases.
This option requires a sound card and speakers or headset on your computer.
Say It is an add-on that can be downloaded from the Babylon website and installed separately. When downloading, you can choose to install either a male or female voice.
