The text of the transcript is then sent to my OF inbox and OF opens so I can check if all went well. I just have to remember to switch to French in my head. Now I tell Siri “French for Omnifocus” and it brings up a recording widget. I didn’t need to set up anything to choose the language because, for English, using Siri directly to add items to the OF inbox works fine. At first, I thought it was necessary to use the clipboard to send the transcript to OF but realized the text could go directly without passing by the clipboard. I managed to set up a Shortcut using the “dictate text” action that I didn’t even know existed. And has anyone already done this? Or is there a better way? So I’m wondering if this is the way to go. I use Shortcuts a bit for very simple things and I mostly copied them from the gallery. So I’m looking for another way, a fast and simple way, to send the transcript of my recording to OF. Great! But it is a bit of a hassle to do all this when the whole point is to get the task into my inbox without thinking much about it, and there is the risk that I might even forget to do it. I record my message either on my iPhone or my Watch and then, after opening the app on the phone, I can send the transcript to Omnifocus (and even set up the info for the action before sending). So I looked for something else and found the app JustPressRecord that works very nicely. It is a pain to change the language for Siri, and then change it back.

No problem there.īut sometimes, for various reasons, I want to send a reminder or task to OF in French.
Change language just press record mac#
I speak to Siri in English and when I’m away from my Mac I tell Siri to remind me of this or that in Omnifocus. I’m bilingual (English and French) and I use both languages all the time.
