Alfred Workflows

VoiceCode has a few commands that integrate directly with the popular productivity and automation tool "Alfred". If you don't use Alfred already I highly recommend it: http://www.alfredapp.com. To use these commands you must upgrade to the paid version of Alfred: http://www.alfredapp.com/powerpack/.

Installing workflows for Alfred:

• Install Alfred
• Upgrade to the powerpack
• Navigate to ~/voicecode/integrations/alfred-workflows
• Double-click on each workflow
• It's now ready to go!

Using the Alfred History workflow:

There is a command is called: recon, pronounced: 'ree-con'. It opens Alfred and displays your VoiceCode command history sorted in reverse chronological order (most recent first). To "re-execute" any command in the list simply highlight it by hovering the mouse over it or using the arrow keys, then hit enter, or by voice "shock", or click the mouse. Or if you see the command you want to re-execute, speak the command number for the item (ie chommone, chommtoo, chommthree, chommfour, etc) to execute the command immediately.

Searching VoiceCode Settings

Sometimes you want to be able to quickly look up what the available options are for a VoiceCode command that operates using a list of preset options. The treemail, trusername, trassword, and frank commands are good examples. Another good reason to look up these commands in Alfred is in the case when perhaps it is noisy where you are and you are not presently able to use VoiceCode, however you still want to be able to use all the presets you have set up in your settings files to easily insert things like emails, usernames, and file paths, without doing too much typing.

The following Alfred integrations are included:

• Websites (Alfred trigger: vw)
• Directories (Alfred trigger: vd)
• Abbreviations (Alfred trigger: va)
• Emails (Alfred trigger: ve)
• Usernames (Alfred trigger: vu)
• History (spoken: 'Recon') (Alfred trigger: vc)

The great thing is that the search results are even filterable using a robust fuzzy-text search built in to the VoiceCode server which provides these results to Alfred. Overall it is a very pleasing integration.

Extra Alfred power tips:

• when a VoiceCode result is highlighted in Alfred, press command-C or say stoosh to copy the result text.
• when a VoiceCode result is highlighted in Alfred, press Return or say shock, or click the mouse to perform the action associated with the result.
• Or if you see the command you want to re-execute, speak the command number shown on the right side of the item (ie chommone, chommtoo, chommthree, chommfour, etc) to execute the associated action immediately.
