playing audio from external source

It would be very convenient if one could click "play" to hear the word. I wonder if there's an easy way to code the app so when the user hits "play" on a word, the audio for that word is pulled from dict.cc and cached locally on his device.

First of all, sorry for answering so late. That would be a wonderful idea. According to dict.cc website (https://www.dict.cc/?s=about%3A&l=e), for automated requests, we should ask for their permission. Before contacting an email, we will have to plan a little bit this feature and even try some features locally. Personally, I haven't yet coded any app using audio, so it would be interesting.
Thank you for your proposal, we will keep you informed.

No apologies necessary, but thanks. Looking forward to seeing that feature. Tschüss!

We did not find any dict.cc API to get the verbs. Nonetheless Android provides a great tool : Android TextToSpeech. I think it is the one we will be using, because it is very handy and we do not have to install anything or ask anyone's permission. Well, now we will have to discuss about the interface and implement it.
