Once per turn and cards going face down

As I understand it when a card goes face down and out of play the once per turn restriction on its ability for lack of a better word resets.

My question is what happens if you retrieve a card played this turn from your discard pile and place it into your hand (where it would be face down and out of play)? My best examples are either being an action card retrieved with Sound Strategy or Ring of Void retrieved with Shinsei's Crow or K'mee. Would you be able to play that card for the same action printed on it a second time that turn?

As I understand the rules I believe that you would be able to. If I am incorrect please explain why. Thanks.

(W)hat happens if you retrieve a card played this turn from your discard pile and place it into your hand(?)

You can play it again, for reasons stated.
