Description
A new filter, called sayit. that looks up the selected word from the filter's syntax
in an online free audio dictionary and links a flash mp3 player instead of the selected word.
Was requested by English language teachers that were looking for a way to give students (in quizzes)
an audio playback (sound) of an English word which could be used to ask the students to spell it.
(so the word's text is removed from the content of the page)
the dictionary is : www.yourdictionary.com
the filter's syntax is : [[sayit:AnEnglishWord]] where "AnEnglishWord" is a word in English (lowercase letters)

Nadav - Thanks for another nice little piece of code. I can see the functionality for allowing students to practice their spelling. Currently, the URL to the word contains the spelling of the word. One thing you could do is obfuscate the URL using hex such that something like:
http://www.yourdictionary.com/audio/s/sp/spelling.mp3 would be displayed as:
http://www.yourdictionary.com/audio/%73/%73%70/%73%70%65%6c%6c%69%6e%67.mp3
if the student were to look under view source.
In any case, I am resolving this as fixed since the code is in CVS, the tracker component has been added, and I have added it to your growing list of areas for CVS write access. Please review http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Guidelines_for_contributed_code to make sure the Docs, M&P entry, etc. are completed so that folks can easily find, comment, and report issues on this issue. At this point, you know the drill 
Thanks again for sharing so much of your work with the Moodle community as it is clear you have embraced the open source spirit. If I have overlooked something please do not hesitate to let me know.
Peace - Anthony
