About the audio. This uses your phone's built-in voice, not a recording — quality varies by device and browser. Basque (Euskara) usually isn't a separately supported voice, so those words may sound approximate or fall back to a Spanish accent. Still useful for the shape of the word, especially in Spanish and Portuguese, which are well supported on iOS.
