Why is it that 99% of the times when I need to remember to do something or make a note about something I'm sitting behind a steering wheel going 65MPH? I have occasionally resorted to scrabbling for a pen, a paper, or calling my office and leaving myself a voicemail, but those are respectively dangerous and pretty lame.
Jott, a service originally launched in December 2006, addresses this problem by providing a speech to text interface that works remarkably well. Even better, over the last year Jott has added connections to a variety of online services such as social media and calendars so you can update all kinds of information simply by talking.
Jott works its magic with a combination of machine-based speech to text translation and some large number of warm bodies in a customer service center somewhere. The result, in my experience, is usually perfect conversion.
To use Jott you simply call Jott’s toll-free number and the system recognizes you using Automatic Number Identification. You start by saying the name of the person, group, or service you want to address and you can leave a message of up to 30 seconds in length.
When you send to yourself you get an e-mail of your voice message. When you send to other people, either individuals or groups, you send both e-mail and text (SMS) messages. If you send yourself a reminder you’ll get an e-mail and a text message 15 minutes before the time Jott asks you to specify.
Leaving list items results in an e-mail of the item to you and an entry to one of your personal lists on Jott. The Jott online list service is very cool: You can sort items; cross off those that you’ve done; print the list; and e-mail the list to yourself.
One thing you should look at is Jott’s Web site user interface. This is a terrific design with great style, excellent ease of use, and a very effective drag and drop facility that makes managing your “Jotts” very easy.
The other thing that impressed me are the links to other services. For example, if you have a Twitter or Tumblr account you can tell Jott about them and then by saying, for example, “Twitter” and leaving a message have the text posted as a Twitter “tweet.” This makes using Twitter a breeze when you are out and about especially if texting isn’t something your particularly enjoy.
