I am not aware of any such software. But yes I can provide you with a website that would be very helpful. you just have to punch in the word and then you can hear the pronunciation

Kindly visit:

ww.howjsay.com (basically for UK English)

And yes if you come across the software you are searching for kindly share with us on this forum

Thanks.

You can get a freeware that improves your pronunciation at panopreter.com
this software can read in UK or US English and some other languages, and convert the reading into MP3 files. I think it's really an useful tool.
