Hello, I'm David, an English teacher. I have a question. I often need to look up the phonetic transcriptions of a word (for example, alfred = /ˈælfrəd/). This can become a laborious task, even when using websites such as photransedit and phonetizer. I was wondering if there were people in this world clever enough to create an Alfred workflow to speed up this process. Ideally, the process would be something like:
 
Invoke Alfred
Type a keyword (such as IPA)
Type dog
*magic*
Press enter to copy phonetic transcription (/dɒɡ/) to clipboard
Navigate to document
Press paste
 
I have no coding ability whatsoever. Could you help with the *magic* part? Let me know if you can
 
Thanks,
David

I like to make my mac as much of a typewriter as possible. I use Ulysses 3, OmmWriter and Alfred, with this theme. Enjoy

Hi,
 
I am always trying to cut and paste bible references into my notes. But, there is almost always extra formatting carried over or it did not come out in the format that I wanted. So, I created the workflow to make it easier for me.
 
This workflow will request Bible passages from the "Ephesians 4:14" website:  http://www.4-14.org.uk/xml-bible-web-service-api.
 
Access to this API is currently free. This workflow will request the given verse from Alfred edit line or from the current OS X selection, request the verse(s), and return it in the clipboard and a notification. You can then paste it where ever you want. You can always change the "Copy to Clipboard" box to also paste into current application.
 
It currently allows switching between the King James Bible and the Thai King James Bible (the only ones I use.). It is working great with Thai currently, except for the name of the book is still in English. I will be working on that one.
 
I will be adding more functionality to this workflow in the future and eventually have a full Bible study app running and controlled in Alfred.

Here's the theme I use. It's simple, clean and colourful. It's wide, too, because I like to see instant results from, say, Wolfram or Google Translate.
Enough detail without being cluttered. If you want it more subtle, just make it grey and thinner. But then it wouldn't be lime, would it?
I hope you enjoy!
