Jott.com - Mobile Note Taking



I’ve been using Jott for about a week now and I am quite impressed. Simply put, Jott transcribes a voice message and sends you an e-mail with the text.


Here is how it works:

- You call the Jott toll-free number
- A voice asks you “who do you want to Jott?”
- You respond, “myself”
- The voice says “Jott yourself”

- Then you leave your message. When you finish, you simply hang-up.


Within minutes, the message is transcribed and sent to your e-mail inbox. Very cool!

This service is free. All you have to do when you sign-up is provide a phone number (the system uses caller id to know who you are) and an e-mail address. I’d highly recommend Jott for anyone who needs to dictate a quick note to themselves (or others).


Check it out at Jott.com.

A special thanks to Kelly Forrister from The David Allen Company for turning me on to Jott. You can check out Kelly’s great blog at http://www.davidco.com/blogs/kelly/.

No Turn-By-Turn Voice Navigation on my iPhone 4!

A friend of mine gave me a ride home recently.   We were not sure how to get from Point A to Point B so he fired up his iPhone 4S Maps App...
