Pronunciation rules for travelers, not language learners

What it does

Pronvo helps travelers read menus, street signs, place names, and unfamiliar words out loud in French, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

First section free, no sign up required.

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
