Overall - Simple and elegant Loved . The mouse over feature displaying spelling and onclick pronouncing is immensely useful . To be fixed . The font should be retained. Font change is not the core job. . The word stress mark does not follow the convention, The mark is displayed right to the stressed syllable alphabet. Whereas in dictionaries it is on left side of the alphabet. . Feature request British English IPA transcription option
