Pronounce This

Jeff recently installed a pretty nifty little Firefox add-on. It’s called Pronounce This. It will pronounce most words on any web page. After you’ve installed it, you can highlight the word, right click it and then choose the Pronounce option.

It’s super helpful for Joey to have access to this. She learns quite a bit on the internet and especially for scientific sites like this one, it can be pretty handy. It doesn't have all the words we've come across, but it can handle the majority of them, including Lagrangian.



Also, here’s a relevant shortcut that I love to use... To highlight a particular word, double click on it. If you triple click, it will highlight the whole line.

So glad you decided to leave a message! Feel free to talk about yourself and don't worry if you tend to leave marathon comments. I don't mind. In fact, those are my favorite kind.

Finally, feel free to type your website address within your comment because one of these days I will be moving my blog and would like to retain links to all of you wonderful people (the blogger formatting of commenter links doesn't get transferred properly).

Cheers.
