For me, text-to-speech is not the the best but it's okay and fast in response. Since there is a function to play that part of the movie in the flash cards quiz, I can use that instead of text-to-speech if you want to make sure the correct pronunciation.
Ah, I looked into this a bit more because I saw the feature on
beta.jisho.org (click "play audio" on the left). I see on Jisho's
about page that this audio was "graciously provided" by Wanikani, not that it's a freely available resource. Sorry for the confusion

You may refer to conjugation table like the one below and analyse the suffix of the verb and search godan/ichidan verbs in the dictionary you use.

Actually, I spend very little time in the de-conjugation part. I spend more time in recognising Japanese numbers and other functions like, kanji, place number, context-senstive web browser, typing test, built-in flash cards, search from opensubtitles.....etc
Aha, good to know! Do you use MeCab or similar parser to recognize stems and parts-of-speech and proper nouns and numbers, etc.? The iOS download seems too small to include any of the MeCab dictionaries so perhaps you did all this yourself: if so, kudos!
