Currently, only the link to US pronunciation is displayed. Explore Wordnik API for relevant options.

@kshitij10496 I am looking to use Merriam-Webster Collegiate Audio Pronunciation API for adding the relevant pronunciation. This would require adding my API key to config.json file. I am planning to change the *_api_key methods in utils.py. What is your opinion on this ?

I was thinking of labeling the API response from Wordnik as US or UK pronunciation. Merriam-Webster API is not developer friendly due to the use of XML. Moreover, I don't see the distinction between pronunciation type in that API as well.

Since this is a low priority feature, we can skip it for now and work on the more demanding issues.
