Default Question about an online pronunciation tool and its link

Question about an online pronunciation tool and its link

Is there somebody who can kindly let me know the URL of the oneline pronunciation tool above?

Last year I got the link in an old thread but lost it later. The tool could provide with many languages' pronunciations once you type the word or sentence and click the botton. I remember, for American English pronunciation there are four people over there, three ladies and one gentleman. I got the pronunciation properly of Moneau Sobeco, an benefit insurance company's name. It was very helpful because it was tough to pronunciate correctly but I needed to know for an interview. I was very happy when I heard the pronunciations as there were some well-known online dictionaries failed to pronunciate it. There were many other languages the online tool could provide with pronunciation services such as French, Spanish, Germany, Korean...etc.. as well.

Unfortunately, I lost the link and have never got it back after I restalled my computer this March. So, does anbody know the online tool and link?

Thank you ,

Leo-li

Not an answer, but just a couple of correction to your normally good English:

1 The verb is 'pronounce'; there is also a related word 'enunciate' but you want the first.

2 You may have restored your computer, or re-installed everything on your computer; not 'restalled'.

It sounds like a useful site. I hope someone finds it.

I got your points. It was re-installed rather restored~~. Enunciate? Great word.
Thank you, Bobk.
