The speaker reads the word in the voice the LangX app uses for that language — synthesised, not a recording of a native speaker, so treat it as a guide. A row without a button has no reading we are free to use, or none we trust, yet.

Knowing the word is the easy half.
Using it with someone who speaks the language is the half that sticks.
