Dictonary for nook

---

Anyone know of or have tried a dictionary app on the color nook that after you highlight a word to get the meaning of the word, it will pronounce it for you. Looking to get a nook for my dad but he really wants to be able to do this. I played with the NC today and the built in dictionary works good. I see a couple apps in the market that will pronounce the word through the speaker on a android phone or device. Anyone willing to try it out for me?

I use Concise Oxford English Dictionary, it can pronounce some words but not all.

dictionary.com's app in the market does this. its a separate app and has a widget.

Anyone know if they would work on a rooted NC?

I have both installed on my rooted nook and they work fine. You have to have your Nook rooted to install them.

Awesome thanks a lot.

google translate also has a vocal function, although i wouldn't call it pronunciation as it's very robotic.

So I am guessing there is nothing so far that you can highlight a word and then ask the app to pronounce it? This would be awesome if it was possible.
