Is there a good source for the pronunciation of Chinese words?

Google translate will read out the translation to you (example), I’m not sure how accurate that is (click the “listen” button on the translated window. A general guide can be found here.

Hi Chad,
I’ve done that but the translation is not correct. For instance, I type in xue and I get a pronunciation but no translation. Going the other direction - I type in blood and the translation is Xiěyè - a completely different word and pronunciation.
