Sound problems?

You've changed the speaker to pronanuce the word BEFORE i start writing it, which was alot better, since i don't have to click on "show" to see hiragana. But, it doesn't work like that anymore. Is there some option where I can change it back?

It could have to do with your "hidden reading" setting--have you changed that one?

Ditto for me. The speaker doesn't say the word unless I press the speaker button for each word. But I have set the speaker to pronounce automatically in settings.

LilyWhyteLegs, perhaps you can help break it down for me a bit:

1) is this on the iOS app, or the web app?

2) Is it for Chinese, or Japanese?

3) What prompt types does this happen for--writing, tone, reading, definition?

4) When you press the speaker, it says the full word-level audio, right, not just the character--but doesn't say it by default, either before or after the word?
