Very useful if you're looking for British pronunciations such as "a weekEND of conTROVersy". They also seem to frequently provide the American pronunciation in addition to the British on words like aLUMinum vs. aluMINIum.

Thanks Stef!

Thanks, Stefania.

A couple of others I use are

http://dictionary.reference.com/

and

http://forvo.com/languages-pronunciations/en/

There are occasions when neither of them has the pronunciation I want though so I will be trying out howjsay.com next time.
