Hi everyone,

I’m new here and still getting the hang of what Hazel can and can’t automate, so I’m hoping someone more experienced can point me in the right direction.

I’m trying to figure out whether Hazel can watch incoming emails from my voicemail provider, grab the attached .WAV voicemail file, and then convert the audio to text automatically. My old provider used to include a transcript with every voicemail, but my new service doesn’t offer that feature.

Has anyone here set up a rule or workflow that:

Monitors a specific mailbox or folder

Extracts the .WAV attachment

Sends it to a speech‑to‑text tool or script

Saves the resulting text somewhere useful

I’m not sure if Hazel can handle the email‑parsing part on its own or if I’d need to combine it with Apple Mail rules or a third‑party script.

Any guidance or examples would be hugely appreciated.

Hazel is not really meant to monitor Mail so you'll need to use Mail's rules to deal with processing the email and saving the email/attachment. You'd also need to use an external program/script to do the speech-to-text. Hazel can be used to trigger/run the workflow though.
