Chinglish

[David A. Daniel]

1. Open Audacity, set the source on Stereo Mixer
2. Open browser, go to m-w.com
3. Type in a word and go to it
4. Click on the little red speaker thing to get pronunciation
5. Start recording on Audacity
6. When the pronunciation box speaks, Audacity will record it.
7. You now have the file that you can play around with in Audacity, export
as MP3 or other formats, whatever you like.

Surely this is easily done on a pc too, right?
