I'm happy to learn about nciku.com! For my own character-
pronunciation needs (actually less important now that I'm studying
Chinese), I've used the pronunciation guides on
http://www.xuezhongwen.net/chindict/chindict.php Just type in the
pinyin (with or without tones), find the right characters, click, and
listen! It won't do phrases, but you can get each character and
string them together yourself.
