Drafts

I am looking for a way to use the transcribing feature in Drafts (Transcribing Audio & Video - Drafts User Guide) to automatically transcribe audio memos. The dream is to have a process like: Pressing record in Apple Voice Memos → making the recording → pressing stop → Drafts automaticly triggers and starts transcribing the audio. Additionally it would be nice if the finished draft included a link to the audio file in iCloud. I have tied playing around with it in Shortcuts, but can’t really ...

Just to note it might not be necessary to alter the original draft. Perhaps this new text is something you actually want in the draft, but if it is just meta-data you are adding for the benefit of whatever other app or service you are targeting, you might just have the action include that text via templates, and not actually insert it in the original text.

I borrowed an action from the library and rejiggered it to append a link in an existing draft note to the active note. It works, but I want the result to remain as the active note, so I can pass it to another action. Here is my current script: let f = () => { // select an existing draft let d = Draft.find(“01AB846B-FA59-4D98-91B2-E7F52DBE3C63”); if (!d) { return false; } // append current draft draft.content = draft.content + " " + d.content; draft.update(); return true; } if (!f()) { ...

v1.8.0 is now available. It includes a fix as notified by @Richard_Cool, as well as a few additions to the diagnostics and a new option to copy a workspace’s URL to the clipboard. I have also deprecated the Drafts beta related flows as Drafts beta testing on macOS is now managed via Testflight. Launching these will now take you to the beta programme page.

It’s actually a lot simpler than my original hehe. Here’s what I came up with. I’m going to assume you’ve got less than 999 drafts in your library.

Do you know how to make an action to randomly open drafts from inbox space?

There is nothing in Drafts to access the phone app’s call log. I am not even sure Apple would have something like that in their public API for use by third party developers - it might be a bit of a security concern as that is the sort of thing that other parties could find quite useful to exfiltrate - knowing who you talked to, when, and for how long.

Is it possible to make such action which collects missed calls from given day. Something similar to calendar import action.
