Might be a stupid question
    #6030291 - 09/05/06 12:37 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I was wondering if any one knows of a dictionary website or software thing that can pronounce the Greek/Latin scientific names of various mushroom to me?

Lol man, just sound it out to the best of your ability, not that hard when you put your mind to it... or ask someone else who's a good speller to help you out.

Well I tried that speech thing in the WinXP control panel but I still cant trust the way that some of them sound out.  I bet Websters.com has a few but I'm too cheap to buy a membership.  Not only that but if I bought one and found out that not a single name is pronounced id go apeshit and accidentally have to fist slam my keyboard in half :frown:

There are a few resources that might help:

http://www.saltspring.com/capewest/pron.htm
http://www.emmitsburg.net/gardens/articles/adams/2002/latin_for_gardeners.htm (I don't fully agree with the place this page sometimes places the stress)
http://www.ai.uga.edu/mc/latinpro.pdf#search="LATIN%20NAMes%20pronunciation"

There should be a website that actually has some/many Latin names which you can play as a .wav file, but I'm unable to find it at the moment.

And if nothing helps, Skizz' advice is perfectly good as well: just try, if someone laughs, ask them how you'd pronounce it correctly.

Tom Volk has a very good website, he pronounces many latin names.
