Indeed, after a period of being almost forgotten, a host of new developments in the Applescript world have brought AppleScript into the limelight once again. I also feel like it should be in OS X seeing as how its inspired by iOS, but am grateful that it is not too expensive.Applescript is estimated by the Georgia Institute of Technologies Annual World Wide Web survey, among others, as the second most common language for Internet CGI development after PERL. I agree it is a great little program and has great plugins, cant wait to see what else comes up. I have used it, at home, and it has a lot of great plugins that offer a big increase in functionality like the Evernote integration. It's definitely a valid solution, especially for either casual users or people that have enough RAM to validate the use of. Running an entire app, though filled with other features, is a bit crazy for this single feature.

Also, Popclip costs something, something that should cost nothing considering the 'power' a Mac has, even in Applescript, it's astounding that there isn't one really good service or script for something like this. At home on my Retina it's no problem to have running 24/7 but at work I have to count every, single, megabyte of RAM used and I have to use it carefully. Thanks, this is really useful!

Here is a version for use with hotkeys which will operate on the active selection in OS X and paste it with the converted text. To customize the script to my needs, I set someText to get the contents of my clipboard, change the case, then turn the result over to the clipboard again. The keyword casep will transform the text on the clipboard and paste (using Applescript System Events) Essentially, the script takes the someText property and transforms its text items through changeCase to four possible options: upper, lower, title, and sentence. The keyword case will transform the text on the clipboard without pasting the result. There are two workflows which display the following five options: This workflow converts the case of the text on the clipboard.
The original version is described below and still available, if anyone prefers it. Here's the old Python 2 version in case anyone wants it: NB This is a new link and will download as a new workflow - you'll need to migrate any hotkeys and delete or disable the older version.
