I'm confused. The remainder of your description of your process does not seem very streamlined and has a lot steps through 3rd parties. I use only MobileOrg and can capture to my desktop by tapping only a 5 buttons:
1) The app icon, 2) enter text (or tap the mic button and speak), 3) Done 4) Outline Mode 5) Sync.
My Desktop then automatically updates w/o 5 minute delay. Captured notes are tagged as REFILE and show up in a section of the Agenda that only shows up if there are things that need to be refiled. There are no need for external scripts and the only 3rd party service is DropBox.
I'm happy to see there are alternatives, and ones that work for Android, but for iPhone users I think there might be simpler setups than your original description.
I've shared my config before, but am happy to do so again.
Alternatively, I have a workflow that lets me do the hands-free "Hey Siri..." and just speak at my phone, and things automatically show up on my laptop Org agenda, again in the REFILE section that only shows up when there are items. The scripts for that workflow are not robust, but the outline/concept and starter scripts can be found here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-05/msg00556.html The first workflow described, using MobileOrg, is robust.
