I'm sure for some users the Workflow app is great, but some of the examples I have read sound to me like they are not a big time saver. For example, using speed dial icons on the home screen is theoretically OK, but my first home screen is filled with the apps I use most often and if I put Speed Dial icons in a folder or on the second home screen, then I have to perform an action first to get to them, e.g. double tap the folder to open it or swipe to get to the second home screen. In this case I may as well double tap the Phone icon and if my most used people are in the Favorites and this is where I was when I closed the phone app, I basically have access to speed dials (the entries in my favorites) after performing a single double tap on the Phone icon which I can find super fast as it is in the bottom left corner of the screen.
If I need access to a recording on my computer, I use Dropvox. I can set the app to start recording when I open it so all I have to do is open the app, then when I'm done I have to double tap to stop the recording, but then it automatically uploads to whichever Dropbox folder I specified so as soon as the upload is done and the download on any PC where I have Dropbox installed, I have access to it in MP3 format. These are just two examples, as I said, I am not trying to discredit the app, but just as some others I personally have yet to really find a good use for it.

I created a new workflow. I then added the record audio action to the workflow. I added the copy to clipboard action to the workflow. I then added the send email action to the workflow. I am playing around with the settings for each action. I have the record audio action set to record on tap and to stop recording on tap. I have the send email action set to not show the mail composer, added in a generic subject, and set the contact to my work email. The main issue I have still is that when I click the start workflow button, I then need to click the start recording button. When I do the second button voiceover speaks and is captured on the recording. I may play with setting the start recording option to instant or with a delay. I am also going to look at if I really need the copy to clipboard action, or if it will work without it. I am hoping I can get rid of the need to click done once I am finished with the recording. As it is now I click the start recording, record my memo, then click the stop recording button. Then I need to click the done button to get to the send email button. Lots of extra clicking in there, but a work in progress.
