Used AppleScript as recently as 2018 - for a small commercial project even. It works great and I don't think anything else comes close, aside from proper programming/scripting which isn't a fair comparison for the typical AppleScript use-cases.
- navanchauhan 4y agoCan you talk a bit more about this? The only experience I have with AppleScripts, is attaching it to a folder so that any PDFs that were dropped in it were OCRed using Azure, and then converted to a blog post
- ace2358 4y agoThat’s pretty cool! I use AppleScript in my business for doing image conversion and sorting. It’s a pretty stealth feature built into the os that’s been there for years.
- sgt 4y agoYeah my thought too, that's a pretty cool use of AppleScript. Working with PDF's one generally wants to do from your own machine anyway, so it's ideal. You could even send documents or photos through to Azure's facial recognition API and order based on people/faces. Just an idea.
- sgt 4y agoIt was actually for remote control via iMessage. Rendered less useful nowadays due to Apple releasing an API for business (https://register.apple.com/resources/messages/msp-rest-api/ https://register.apple.com/resources/messages/msp-rest-api/)
- pram 4y agoI think the main problem AS has is you can accomplish a whole lot with Automator, and now Shortcuts.
