Paul, Have you written to the developer of List Recorder about making the sharing to DropBox part of the app?
I did and she said she was working on it but that was over a year ago. I’m wondering if I’m the only one who has been asking the developer to continue to improve List Recorder.

There is not much that I’d like to automate, but here’s one situation. Do you think the workflow app is suitable for the following? I have list recorder installed. This lets you record audio, organize it etc etc. One repetitive task I’m doing daily again and again is, that I need to get my recordings into dropbox. To do this, in list recorder, I need to hit share, in a new dialog the audio functions button, then in a new dialog the open in button, then in a new dialog the dropbox button. To begin with, is this automatable using workflow to begin with? Once list recorder starts transferring the recording over to the dropbox app, dropbox itself opens. I then need to enter my password, then I need to hit save in the upper right corner of the dropbox iphone app, and then the upload to the dropbox.com <http://dropbox.com> site begins. Next, I need to switch back to list recorder, do a back button, and then the workflow is finished for this file. As you see, it takes a lot of tapping, flicking, and switching apps. Is this a scenario that the workflow app can automate? Very curious, because this process is tedious. Hope to hear back. Regards, Paul.

Yes, this app requires iOS8. Half of its power comes from the ability to add your workflows to the share sheet, so you can do whatever you want when sharing webpages, contacts, text, and more. This functionality is only supported in iOS8 and above, so I'm not surprised they put this limitation on the app. There might be a version for iOS7 and below, I don't know.

Are the work Flows created shareable? I am interested in this app but I would almost prefer to use some already created to copy from so that I can learn. I learn from copying and then tweaking, then eventually starting from scratch. :) Thanks :) On Dec 28, 2014, at 8:00 AM, Alex Hall <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi all, You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which provides automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple <http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple> I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that is easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is possible to make workflows. The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this can use vibrations to keep you on track. What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and tons more. It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of thing you're into, I suggest picking it up. The app is, as I said, currently usable with VO if you work around the issues it has, but the team is seeking feedback from VO users and hopes to improve things in the near future. I'm not part of this app in any way, I just really like what it can do and wanted to spread the word. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]> -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
