Voice Transcription Tools

I am working on solutions for my different voice transcription needs.  There are many options out there, but not all of them are affordable for all applications.

I am currently playing with Otter.ai, as a free audio file transcription service, but I have seen other options such as Bluemix from IBM, Google STT API, and Nuance.  Free is always a good option for my test applications.  I am not worried about recognition rates. 

Anyone know good transcription cloud apps or software packages?

Android Automation Tricks

While looking for some ways to automate my phone, I found this site. 
http://www.androidauthority.com/automation-with-tasker-ifttt-qpython-762910/ 

I am placing it here for my own reference.  I am interested in trying qpython with Tasker as well as Tasker App Factory.

I am currently evaluating IFTT, Tasker, Automate, Microsoft Flow, and Automagic to see which I like the best for different purposes.

Things I want to automate:

• I also have been playing with using Microsoft Flow for reading outlook emails and constructing dynamic bot-like replies, but that one is an expensive option as you can only have 750 triggers/month without paying per usage fees.  I look to experiment with other platforms that allow me to have unlimited triggers (Maybe a bot is best for this functionality).
• I also want to figure out how to tap into the Amazon Alexa notifications to enable AI to AI integrations between Cortana and Amazon Alexa.
• How do I get an alert when a Box file is updated?  I tried IFTT with this but I had little luck getting it to do everything I want.  What features do each platform expose?
• Many others...

What is the best portable automation/orchestration tool for work/personal integration?

• Box integration
• Office 365 Integration
• VPN Integration
• Read Email and attachments
• REST calls for web services
• XML processing
• Keyboard integration

How can I use these tools to improve my response time to customers and coworkers using natural language, deep learning, and other tools?
