Okay, those work. But it has weird formatting and a bunch of jumble. Some looks like code even.

For example when using the 'Oxford's Learners dictionary' the word "Scribe" for that word it comes up with this:

[ scribe scribes scribed scribing ] BrE [skraib]
z_scribe__gb_1.wav NAmE [skrib]
z_scribe__us_1.wav noun a person who made copies of written documents before printing was invented
World Origin:
Middle English (originally referring to a Jewish record-keeper): from Latin scriba , from scribere
'Write'
Example Bank:
• Before paper was common, medieval scribes used parchment or vellum.

And this was one of the clearer ones. But at least you can get the definition out of it.
Using the 'Oxford English Dictionary 2nd Ed' is much worse with the jumble and code.

Thanks anyway
