Jott

Make a phone call, record a message, and have it automatically transcribed for you and sent to your contacts (via e-mail), to your Twitter page or blog.

Sound futuristic? Far-fetched?

Not so. Jott does exactly that, for free.

Set up your account today with Jott, and start sending e-mails, posting to your blog, and making reminders for yourself with your voice. I started using this a few hours ago, after having learned about it from a recent episode of net@night, a TWiT podcast. Jott isn’t really for people that sit behind a keyboard and monitor all day, but rather for on-the-go use, such as with a mobile phone.

One problem is that importing contacts isn’t as seamless as possible, due to the fact that I’m using Geekie.org Apps (powered by Google) rather than the standard Gmail. I had to go through the process of exporting my contacts to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and uploading that to Jott.

Jott isn’t perfect. Sometimes, it can misspell words; for instance, “poll” was spelt as “pole”, a homonym. Subtle things like the D at the end of “noticed” might not be detected.

Try it out anyways; visit Jott.

If you’re a North American user (US or Canada), there’s a toll-free number that you can use once you’ve set up your account - 1-866-JOTT-123 (1-866-5688-123). Local numbers for a number of cities exist as well.
