It would be a good application for mobile too.
In browser would be reasonably easy with Flash, and can be done with JavaScript in modern browsers but not yet in a consistent way. There is a W3 spec but using a library like https://github.com/jussi-kalliokoski/sink.js/ would be easier than writing per browser versions to take into account current real world variation.
A mobile app, or a few native apps for dominant platforms presumably expose a cleaner interface to what is a core device on that hardware, rather than an optional, variable peripheral on computers.

Why CC0 (public domain)? Your example (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fr-go%C3%BBter.ogg) is CC-BY, which is not public domain and requires attribution (which I think all Wikimedia projects do for text). I'd say CC-BY-SA or CC-BY would be a better default.
I am not sure about copyrightability of a pronunciation of a single word.
Neither am I, but if it's licensed under one of those and a court finds it's not copyrightable, so be it. It still seems reasonable to use an attribution license.
