Jott it down

Just ran across a cool new technology. I haven't quite wrapped my mind around how exactly to use it yet, but it's still pretty cool and you should check it out. Go to www.Jott.com. It is a service that allows you to call their toll free number, and speak your message into the phone. It then takes your message and converts your voice into emails, text messages, reminders, lists, or appointments.

For example: You call and it asks who you want to Jott. You say "myself". It prompts you to begin recording your message. Perhaps you say, "Don't forget to pick up milk on the way home". Jott then asks you if you want to set a reminder and at what time. If you are leaving the gym at 6:00, then set the reminder for 6:00. It will send you a text message saying, "Don't forget to pick up milk on the way home". Whatever you speak, it will transcribe and send it.

Maybe you remember something you wanted to tell a friend, but you're driving and don't feel like trying to text and drive at the same time. Just call Jott and speak your message. Your friend will immediately receive the text message of your exact message. Plus if you have your message transcribed and emailed, there is a link in the email that allows the recipient to listen to the message. How cool is that?

Again, I'm not sure all the ways it can be used, but it seems like a cool new technology none-the-less.
