Has anyone found alternatives to Jott that interface with RTM?

Question echoed - Jott doesn't work in Australia, sadly.

Anyone? Jott is no longer free after February 2nd and I'm looking at what alternatives there are that work with RTM. Thanks

I used jott a fair amount when it was in free beta. When the free version didn't work with RTM, I stopped using it and missed it once in a great while.
Now they have a pay-as-you-go set of plans that they didn't have before that is probably perfect for occasional use. Not a free solution, of course, but at least it isn't another monthly bill for something I only use occasionally.

dial2do.com apparently works with rtm

I signed up with Dial2go.com and linked it to RTM.
It seems to work just fine, and in fact seems a little less fussy that Jott. I can say "RememberTheMilk" rather quickly instead of Jott;s well- parsed "Remember. The. Milk.", and it doesn't hassle me with a confirmation - it just starts recording.
So far, so good.

Thanks! I tried Dial2Do and agree that it works very well!

I used Jott and liked it while it was free.
I just started trying out reQall and the transcriptions are great, to get it to work with RTM you have to have an email forward setup in your email to the RTM address. Unfortunately, that RTM address appears to be frequently down (there's an active thread on that right now, with no official response).
Think I'll try Dial2do - does it integrate with RTM automagically (through an API maybe) or does it also require that buggy email setup?

Dial2Do seems to use the RTM API, so there's no mail-forwarding nonsense.

Yep... for anyone that wants to know here are the three voice to text services I've tried. All are easy to start with, so don't be shy about trying them yourself -
Jott - works great, sends an email with a summary, and sends to RTM through the API (very reliable). Not free anymore (starts at $4/mo)
reQall - Free. A little slower than Jott (3 min vs 30 sec), only sends you an email. Works with RTM if you forward email to your secret address, but that service is very low priority and frequently breaks. Anticipate long delays to RTM.
Dial2do - Free. Same transaction speed as reQall, speedy updates to RTM (uses API). No summary email if you use the RTM feature.
If Dial2do sent an email (I like the "extra" reminder) it would be perfect. Nevertheless it is the one I've started using. (I guess reQall would be perfect too if RTM's mail worked consistently.)
Hope this helps.
