Pretty much all Ectaco dictionaries have synthesized sounds, but honestly, the dictionaries are worse than bad.Gundaetiapo wrote:

Having just acquired an ex word (that I'm still struggling to use), I think that the furigana - I miss terribly - are certainly the "must have" in a dictionary!
the kanji pad is also a must; the compounds show by themselves, and it's possible to enter more than one kanji : that's really great.
Sample sentences for words and glossaries by theme I find useful too... though it would be good to define the useful (or enjoyable) themes : I indeed vote for haikus, and samples sentences from litterature.
but don't miss too much the pronunciation in japanese, though I find the french and english ones quite funny!
but I feel I don't really know I to use the thing, as I'm struggling with a japanese manual, so a sure requisite would be a good manual!

My favourite at the moment is EBPocket/EBWin on Windows Mobile/Windows, but the Sharp Zaurus is the best all rounder as a Japanese learning tool (particularly after I loaded about 2GB worth of additional EPWING dictionaries to it).
