All the audio on renshuu is recorded by native speakers. Nothing is machine generated, and nothing is lifted from other sites. While the number is growing as Michael continues to add more material, it will always be a subset of all the words in the dictionary.
Okay, thank you. I'm trying to read a science book aimed at grade schoolers and it seemed like a lot of the words didn't have audio. Not a problem for most of the words, but the word sulfur is a little confusing.
Sentence audio is relatively easy to ask 3rd parties to do (the two male voices), so we've made good progress on that.
With word audio, though, we've had a simply awful time finding someone who can do it well, maintain pitch accuracy, and provide high quality audio files. So, we've more or less given up and Saki will record them. There are enough that we recorded 10+ years ago that are in desperate need of a re-record, so we want to get those done first before expanding. My personal goal would be 40k words.
We're really hoping to get more added soon, but life continues to be crazy over here.
