  • On older slower computers it can take a few minutes for all of the sound widgets to load. This goes faster on newer computers.
  • It's possible to get a preview of a WikipediaExtracts link by hovering over it, but sometimes it can take a number of seconds before the preview appears. The delay seems to be associated with whether an image is included in the preview. It's also possible to get a preview for a footnote; however, no preview system is currently implemented for links to Wiktionary entries.
  • It's possible to select one of the sound widgets and to use the arrow keys to navigate through the audio stream. One could also have the audio stream opened in another browser window or in another program.
  • The title of the lectures are taken from the Internet Archive page, but don't always go with the exact content for that particular session.
