I just compared the word " slang ", then reversed the translation. All three versions sound the word as " slan " completely missing the " g " . Not good.

Otherwise a wonderful site, I work with Spanish speakers and it helps them learn English, as long as it's accurate ?

I can hear a G... but if i didn't already know it was there I wouldn't.

Anyway those are machine generated. If I were SD I would find out how much acapella charge people to use their service because it's incredible.

I tried slang, and it sounds very much like the SD one. In fact I would say it was the SD one. - MaryMcc, Oct 8, 2011

Agreed, that's not a good one at all.

Lol, lol, lol, it totally does. "Slan"

The faintest "guh" sound is there at the end, I do hear it. However, something about how she says the "a" isn't right.

It certainly isn't how I say slang but then I probably say it differently to you too. - MaryMcc, Oct 7, 2011
