Ask HN: What's are your personal automations?

For myself, I automated creation of language flashcards.

So I can just type a word/phrase in English, and then it will automatically fill in the target language translation, pronunciation, audio recording, and word-by-word breakdown to show what every word in a phrase means.

Before I would have to use Anki, and switch back and forth between Anki and various dictionaries, and have to create my own audio recording. Just removes a bit of friction myself learning (Chinese).

How do you automate the pronunciation? I’d be curious to know what your process is like.

I have wanted to automate my flash cards with Forvo pronunciations (rather than TTS) for awhile but haven’t been able to figure out how

This is amazing. Can you share the code?
