Hi Sasha and thank you for the help.
- what you say makes good sense. being a newbie with Automator I'm not sure how to create that.
- I click on the link to the variables tab – top left corner and clicked on an AppleScript variable and filled it in with
set thetext to get contents of (the clipboard) as text
- but it put it at the bottom of the script = called applescript
- next added a step above audio - = get value of variable (applescript)
- but don't know how to connect it to the audio step....
Thanks again
