- Broken_Hippo 10y agoThis! I was pretty excited to see a Norwegian flag on there, as not only do I sometimes not understand numbers, but there are a few different ways to say larger numbers. Click on the link and it is unavailable. I was sorely disappointed.
- jasonlfunk 10y agoHm, I'll look into it. Right now it is using the built-in SpeechSynthesis library in the browser. You may try installing the language in the accessibility settings for your OS. (Could you try this and let me know?) I've considered adding a fallback API like Google's Cloud API if the browser is unavailable, but I haven't done that yet. If you didn't, be sure to get on the feedback/email list and I'll let you know when I do.
- Symbiote 10y agoWorked on Firefox on a Mac, but not on Firefox on Android. I get about 40% correct in Norwegian, even though I've never studied the language before, since I'm studying Danish. I only get about 50% right in Danish :-( "tre hundrede seks og halvfjerds"... mad! ("Three hundreds six and half-the-fourth-[multiple-of-twenty]", more-or-less.)
- zero_iq 10y agoI'm learning Swedish, so that was the first I tried, and it worked perfectly for me. (Firefox 51.01, MacOS X 10.11)
