Improve Anymemo audio feature can greatly help user's study - flexibility

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the feature you want?

     1. add global speaking function to setting: repeat times, repeat interval, only speak frontside or backside.
     2. give study, preview and list mode an uniform speaking ability and look: tap to speak. and remove the audio choice from menu.
     3. give preview mode and list mode an ability of automatical speaking.
     4. ability to switch between the other two modes. Now for instance, in study mode user can only jump to preview mode. and the previously mentioned removed audio menu can be filled by these options.

How important is it to you?

     Very important. Flexibility is the key.
     1. In study mode, we are encouraged to "think." That means we need to link the studying word to the others, using our imagination. Sometimes I know I'v learnt words with similar or related meanings, so I may jump to list mode for quick search. But right now, I can't.
     2. The problem for study mode is we have to consume all the words we learnt before we can keep going everyday. Soon we'll be swamped by old words everyday, and don't have any process. It's kind of disappointed. For GRE learning, we need a regular plan ( say 450 words per day), so I'll use list mode or preview mode to study. But right now they can't "tap to speak", and I need to use dictionaries instead. By the way, I need "mark read" funtion to the three modes. The reason is the same.
     3. Review is proven good to memory. Skimming through a word list really help a lot. We don't need formal study observance (study mode). We can use limited time to get biggest benefits.

Do you think other people also want this feature and why?

     I think lots of people in the forum are talking about the same thing. for instance, 
http://code.google.com/p/anymemo/issues/detail?id=28
http://code.google.com/p/anymemo/issues/detail?id=83

we need more flexible means to learn languages, but only study mode. and I 
think anymemo don't have to change a lot. It can be acheived by providing equal 
abilities to the three modes, and the audio function is a good start.

speaking.

What I meant here is "automatical recite". repeat times, repeat interval, only 
speak frontside or backside can be set.

CC Xiaoyu. He is implementing the automatic speaking function.

     1. add global speaking function to setting: repeat times, repeat interval, only speak frontside or backside.
     Will consider after discussion with Xiaoyu.

     2. give study, preview and list mode an uniform speaking ability and look: tap to speak. and remove the audio choice from menu.
     Preview mode is easy, list mode is harder. In 9.x it is quite hard to do even in Preview mode. After 10.0, this task is quite easy. But We need some discussion about it. You might want to create a separator issue to track it separatorly, if it does not have big problems, it will be in 10.2 release.

     3. give preview mode and list mode an ability of automatical speaking.
     Xiaoyu is implementing this feature.

     4. ability to switch between the other two modes. Now for instance, in study mode user can only jump to preview mode. and the previously mentioned removed audio menu can be filled by these options.

     5. About list mode
     I would like the list mode to have ability to mark cards in the list. issue 28 is talking about this feature. Originally I plan to do it in 10.0 but it seems to be harder than I expect. It might be delayed to 10.3 or later. (10.2 will have the automatic speaking function). We can track it in issue 28.

     6. Search in list mode
     It is worthy to create a separator issue for that to keep track of it. I might do it sooner, it is very useful for many users and being requested many times.

This should be done long time ago.
