Create spoken caller ID ringtones for iPhone via AppleScript
Just been working with another reader in email.
Turns out that, even though heavily tested, I missed a small piece of syntax that fails when this script is saved as a standalone application. Until I can correct and test, you will have to run from a script menu with Address Book in focus or directly in Script Editor; only run the latter if you are familiar with SE and know how to switch between apps to find dialogs that may present in SE, QT or AB while running. Sorry about that. You can activate Script Menu (free, and already on your machine) by opening /Applications/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility; then switch on 'Show Script Menu' You will then need to save the script I gave you to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Address Book/, (in your own home folder path) and you will probably have to create the last two folders. But if you intend to use it more than once, it is worth the effort. You can learn about FastScripts (also free, but nice if you pay for) here: <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/fastscripts.html>
Creating the scripts folders easily
Once you turn on the scripts menu, open Address Book, then in the script menu at the top, choose: "Open Scripts Folder > Open Address Book Scripts Folder". This will create the required folders under ~/Library/Scripts and open the folder. Works for any other app as well. |
