Pronunciation Tool
You know how on certain websites like dictionary.com when you look up a word there is an audio icon that you can click to hear the pronunciation? It would be great if the scriptures in Gospel Library had a similar feature. My wife and I are reading the Book of Mormon out-loud and often come across names or other words that we're not sure of. It would be great if we can click on the word (which is usually highlighted and footnoted anyway) and get the a pronunciation link that could play audio of the word being pronounced.

Re: Pronunciation Tool
This would be cool. If the mp3 recording were mapped word-by-word this would be pretty simple to do (see below topic)

Note that the pronunciation guide is included in the app, at the bottom of the list of books in the Book of Mormon; but it's just text, like in the print scriptures...
