Automatic speaking / preview mode with timer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the feature you want?
I want a feature when cards switch and are sayd automatically in learn mode 
without aa necessity to tap a button.

How important is it to you?
Very important. I'm ready to donate to get this feature right now.

Do you think other people also want this feature and why?
I think - yes.
This is very useful when you're driving cause of safety of you and all others 
around. When you are several hours on the way in a car it's a good time for 
only listening to cards cause your arms are busy.

Import some suggestion from Bugzilla:
this "auto play" function is very valuable when on the way, especially for
crowd enviroment. and for someones who only want to go through words by
listening the pronunciation.

the broswing functions in current versions
1. manually
2. no sound play
please consider adding functions
1. automaticaly 
2. interval configerable

Thank you for great app :D
Joey

I support Joey's auto play feature suggestion. Could you also consider
implementing displaying  remaining time (until the answer is shown) somewhere 
on the main screen (in a count up or/preferably/ down manner) like it is
displayed in Learnwords (see the 4th screen-shot from the link below.) Thanks.

I will donate/buy pro version for such a feature.
I am learning Slovak now so it is important that TTS engine is configurable. I 
bought TTS engine for Slovak language and I want to use it for questions and 
use English TTS for answers.

It will use the same TTS option for speaking normal cards. If the normal TTS 
audio works, then it also works for this feature.

It is still in progress... We have made the prototype working. It would be 
merged to master git branch after AnyMemo 10.2 release.

The automatic speaking function is now in nightly build. Uninstall the AnyMemo 
free version on your phone and download the latest version in nightly build to 
test it out. 

The function is currently in "Preview/edit" mode and press menu and select 
"Auto speak". A player like interface will show up.

Well done, -the new function is working well, but  as front application only.   
Switching the screen off and putting the application to background stops 
playing ( but kepps the positions ).  
Please consider folowing changes
1. Disable autolock of screen 
2. Background mode
3. Playing answer/questions only ( very usefull for languages) (Ax1+Qx0 / 
Qx1+Ax0  )
4. Playing fist answer then  questions ( Ax1+Qx1) 
5. Playing answer multiple times ( Qx1+Ax2 ) . 
6. Shuffle mode 
7. Selection the item to play based on study progress ( forgot to very hard 
only... )
8. In study mode ( I hope it will supported  ) eye free rating , mayby with 
gesture - lenght of  vertical swipe , tapping  close to top or bottom of the 
screenn )

Thank you for your comments.
#1: Covered in issue 219
#2: I don't think we are going to support it
#6: I think we are going to support it.
#8: It will eventually. I may need to wait google's new gesture library. Also 
maybe eye sensor or something like that will work.

Other suggestion are open to discussion with Xiaoyu.

I re-work the logic in the AutoSpeak part. I didn't fix any of the problems. 
But as a side effect, the background mode is working (Though not perfectly). We 
are going to address the issues I mentioned in comment #13. And feel free to 
test the new code (Tomorrow's nightly build), it works quite differently from 
previous version.

It can be downloaded here:
http://anymemo.info:8080/autobuild/

You need to uninstall the current Free version of AnyMemo first.

There are several major changes still going on:
1. Rename "Auto speak" to "Card player", which is more accurate for its 
function.
2. Move card player function to a dedicated Activity (screen). Lots of 
Preview/edit function does not make any sense or not working if the player is 
playing. Also it might be able to support background task easier.

Feature added in AnyMemo 10.3 beta 1. Closing this issue.
