Not sure if they have local servers in your location. I find them useful for short notes. I simply phone them, leave my message and it gets transcribed into something approaching what I actually said. I then run a script which downloads the rss feed from the service and adds it to my task list. There is org-feed.el and my Python script on github, either of which can grab the rss feed and append new items to an org file. Ian.
