I use my own app I made for this exact purpose, BulletNotes. You can use the hosted service I provide [0], or you can host your own easily with the directions linked on the GitHub page [1].

The main way I use it for fast entry is I have an IFTTT integration setup to take any incoming text messages, and store them as a note in my Inbox that I can sort later.

Then I have my Pebble watch setup to have a one button press voice to SMS to my IFTTT number. So I just raise my wrist, hold the 'up' button, say my note, and send it. Done.

If voice to text won't work, I can send a normal text, an email, run a terminal command, use my Alfred workflow, send a chat to the Telegram bot, or even make a voice phone call.

Same, I built my own as well (https://notational.co) inspired by Notational Velocity (http://notational.net/).
