Beta release

Development in hiatus - I originally built this tool for myself. And as I searched on, I found that https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/selection-search/gipnlpdeieaidmmeaichnddnmjmcakoe is a better tool for me. So, if there is no further request, I would leave this extension here as is.

To use - In any webpage, you highlight a word or phrase (in any languages), right click, choose the "Search Forvo" option menu, then a new tab is opened and you get the pronunciations of the word there. If Forvo doesn't have the entry yet, you can add (to request for the pronunciation) there.
