I'd also be interested if anyone has any ideas, sinse I've been learning spoken Italian myself for the last year. What I really need is a working audio dictionary program, sinse I am at the stage now where I understand the grammatical rules of the language, but am looking for some way of getting more vocabulary. Unfortunately this is one job where audio is needed rather than text because my screen reader can either read in English or! Italian, not both, so it's not possible to read an online dictionary in a particularly reasonable way.

I've heard the google translate ap might do the job in terms of giving me the Italian word for any English word I put in, though how accessible it is with vo and  whether the audio is easy enough to get I don't know.

Not that I know of.

I go and see my teacher, and she generally explains things to meand gets me to practice in conversation with her as she goes over the grama with me, that is why I would like a speaking dictionary to pick up more vocab.

My problem Ambro is my knolidge of different words in Italian isn't quite enough to read specific things like wikipedia articles. I can do general touristy type things like order coffee or a meal in a restaurant and of course I can sing in Italian (why in fact I started learning to speak it in the first place), however I need a much wider knolidge of different words and their meanings before I'd try to read something, at the moment I'd probably only understand one word in ten or so, which is why I'd like some good translation software for my phone.

Hi Afrim.

The problem I have isn't getting my screen reader to pronounce Italian, (orphius has sseveral Italian voices), it's that I can't read in Italian and English at the same time so I can't use a comprehensive dictionary, as either it'll pronounce the Italian words wrong if Supernova is set to English, or Visa Versa if it's set to Italian.

That's why I'm looking for a talking translator, probably one I on my Iphone where I could speak in an english word and get the Italian spoken back to me.

Well, it is true that I can switch languages with Supernova with one keypress, though I was hoping for a phone ap both because it could speak to me, and because I could use it when speaking Italian and say I just wanted a specific word.
