Audio Button in Magnifier Tool

Hey,
since I am in China i started using Skritter, and I really appreciate it ! (It even made me forget the kettle on the fire once, which ended in a small desaster).
But anyway, I always wondered if there is an audio play option for the words in the magnifier !?
I can't find it.. Did you not put it in for any reason ?
It would be really helpful for me to have this little helper, when i am looking up new words.
Keep up the good work :)

Glad to hear Skritter's helping you out. The reason the audio play button isn't in the word popup is that it's actually the Flash that plays the audio, which is only on the practice page, and it only loads the audio for the current word/character, where it already has audio buttons. So we hadn't ever thought of putting it in the word popup, too.

Given how crowded that thing is getting, and how it would take a bunch of extra work to play sound from it easily, we aren't likely to put the audio button in there, but we'll keep it in mind if we find an easier way to do it.
