Other than that, just some bespoke Tasker automations and some hotkeys on my computer. Reading through this thread makes me feel like a rookie, though.
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.
