When you take a look at the XHRs of the site, you'll notice, that they actually load the EN-us-the-unstressed.ogg
file along with these two scripts:
ogv-worker-audio.js
ogv-decoder-audio-vorbis.js
The scripts are part of the ogv.js JavaScript library:
JavaScript media player using Ogg/Vorbis/Theora/Opus/WebM libs compiled with Emscripten
The library does basically this:
Long-form goal is to create a drop-in replacement for the HTML5 video and audio tags which can be used for basic playback of Ogg Theora and Vorbis or WebM media on browsers that don't support Ogg or WebM natively.
So instead of using native audio|video
-elements, they use JavaScript to playback audio, that is imported from .ogg-files.
