An apple script for google dictionary pronunciation
In bash, it's very easy:

cd ~/Desktop; curl --remote-name-all --silent --url \
http://ssl.gstatic.com/dictionary/static/sounds/20160317/\
{wrought,drought,rough,thorough}--_us_1.mp3


That will download the files for wrought, drought, rough, and thorough, and save them on the desktop.

If you want to put it in an AppleScript:

    set word_list to {"wrought", "drought", "rough", "thorough"}

    set my text item delimiters to ","
    set my text item delimiters to {word_list as text, "{word-list}"}

    set curl to "cd ~/Desktop; curl --remote-name-all --silent --url " &amp; ¬
        "http://ssl.gstatic.com/dictionary/static/sounds/20160317/" &amp; ¬
        "{{word-list}}--_us_1.mp3"

    text items of curl as text

    do shell script the result


To obtain user input to allow a user to supply a word to feed into the URL, replace the first line with these two:

    display dialog "Enter a word:" default answer "pronunciation"
    set word_list to {text returned} of the result
