Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Add Forvo Dictionary?

Since I speak Cantonese, I learn the pronunciation for the words using one of the dictionaries - MDBG seems to be a good one for single characters, but it is missing pronunciation of many syllables.

I found that http://www.forvo.com/ seems to be a good one for the words I've tested, and gives has natural pronunciations. Please add it to the drop-down box.

Skritter also has some missing pronunciations for some words, so it would be useful even for non-Cantonese speakers.

Actually, if a shortcut button can be added for dictionary lookup, that would save time.

I keep having to press "Look up more info on this word" and wait for the pop-up to load.

Perhaps a button that opens a new tab immediately to the dictionary last selected?

Yes, a shortcut key would be wonderful!
