Capture with Jott
Stew | Mar 20 2007
I am in no way affiliated with this service, but thought I'd post about it in case it can be of use to anyone. I recently discovered Jott, a voice-to-text web-based transcription program. I had been looking for a capture device to use in my car for some time. My cell phone has a voice recorder, which I have used with my Bluetooth headset, but I'd always forget to review my recordings. Enter Jott. I call Jott on my cell phone, leave a message at the beep, and it's magically sent to my gmail account as a text email. The emails then get processed when I'm back online. The transcription sometimes confuses a few words for others, but it's definitely not so severe as to limit the message's meaning. I've even used this to transcribe memos and letters for my assistant. Being away from my desk quite a bit, and often finding it inconvenient to reach into my pocket for my hPDA, this is a great solution for on-the-run thinking. 8 Comments

 hello jotters!Submitted by chrispancho on April 25, 2007 - 10:58pm.
It's really good to see fellow jotters NOT from washington. It shows how vast this thing can get! I wanted to share my love with this thingamajig! Jott has helped me out a ton being a musican and all. I play guitar and I often thing of riffs and lyrics when I'm not around my guitar and Jott has allowed me to store my ideas! (its kinda silly singing guitar riffs into the phone butt it works!) Other than my music, it is always neat to jott a friend obseneties from time to time haha. As for Pauls question about a charge.... I thought of the same thing. Then again, there has been talk about myspace charging now...since Tom sold to FOX for 100 million. Crazy I tell ya. » POSTED IN:
