Org-drill edit feature request

Org-drill edit feature request

Hi,

Making drill editing seems be very painful by the current way org-drill
offers.
I make a lot of notes on most of the drilled entries, as for now,
1). press e (or other key to reveal the collapsed headlines) , e twice to
go back to the original buffer.
2) add notes. (Even more keys pressing: if i collapsed the headlines before
calling org-drill, i need to press tab to show all the contents at current
headline.)
3) call org-drill-resume to go back.

I would like to consider more intuitive ways to edit the drill entries. How
do you think the workflow below?
1) press e to switch to edit mode like "helm-swoop", which keeps exactly
same narrow, child headline showing as before.
2) add the notes.
3) Ctrl-c Ctrl-s to resume.

Do you think my workflow is more reasonable?
And i would like to hear more advices about the idea above. Thanks.

LLCC

       I try to make every word tell the meaning what I want to express.

My experience with this is that you have to get the word by some means
(e.g. it is a property, or it is selected some how) and then send it to
a platform specific speech program. It is easy on a mac as there is a
command line tool called "say". So, something like this

(shell-command "say \"Hello\")

will say the word Hello out loud. I guess there are windows and linux
equivalents.

Indeed have similar command under Linux. The trouble is how to get the
word every time org-drill change word when in recite single word mode.
