Do you like Forvo?

Do you use it a lot, or maybe you’re a Forvo Editor? ;)

I recently discovered, providing an Italian translation of their website, a nice and very useful “Bookmarklet” in their tools page; it’s a link you can simply drag into your browser Bookmarks toolbar. You have to simply select a word on a webpage, click that bookmark and you’re on Forvo’s add-word page.

I decided to make two more useful Bookmarklets:

  1. Search word on Forvo (drag this on your Boormarks bar)

    and

  2. Forvo User’s profile (drag this on your Boormarks bar)

How to use them:

1) Search word on Forvo: drag the above “Search word on Forvo” link to your browser Bookmarks bar. Select a word in any webpage, click the “Search word on Forvo” bookmark and a Forvo page about that word will appear, if the word exists, otherwise you’ll see a “Oops! There is no word“. NOTE: In case you didn’t select any text, a prompt window will ask to type the word to view on Forvo, I added this feature in case you simply want to quickly view a word on forvo and you don’t have it on a webpage; handy, isn’t it?
Of course this doesn’t involve Forvo Search features, it’s a straight lookup for a word page.

2) Forvo User’s profile: drag the above “Forvo User’s profile” link to your browser Bookmarks bar. Select the text relative to a probable forvo user in any webpage, click the “Forvo User’s profile” bookmark and a Forvo profile page about an existing user will appear, otherwise you’ll see a “Oops! There is no user“. NOTE: In case you didn’t select any text, which is more likely to happen rather than selecting any word you could find around the web, a prompt window will ask to type the Username to lookup on Forvo.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    Nevertheless imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its field.
    Wonderful blog!
