Automagic Forum

I have created a flow to start and stop ride recording w/ Strava. When I finish a ride, the Strava app displays distance, time, and average speed. Can I read these fields and have automagic convert to speech?

I see a way to control a UI, but not to read from a UI.

Thanks.

Hi Rendertrue,

Not sure if one of my older flows could be useful to take a look at or maybe adapt to suit your requirements.

It was set so when I put my phone down on the NFC tag on my desk, it opened the playbooks app, selected the specific book from the app, then started reading it aloud.

It is a bit of a basic flow and there are probably better ways to achieve the same, but it worked so worth a look over.

Hope it helps in some way.

Control UI also include ways to get the text. You can use getText() and its variant or getTextInActiveWindow(), which will retrieve all available text. But using the later, might require some parsing using regex. So it is better to use getText() variant. You can use Show Overlay Control and press the INFO at the Strave when it display the distance. Tap the text and find the one with getText() variant function. Refer to my Control UI tutorial for further info.

After you get the text, use Speech output on the text, as shown in Rick's flow.
