You might want to look at dial2do.com and reqall.com. 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.
