Jott: Too Cool 4 School!

25 04 2008

Imagine- you are on your commute home and you think of an email you should have sent out to your colleagues. You hope you remember to do it when you get home later on in the evening. You think to yourself, “Well, it sure would be nice if I could use my cell phone to record my voice and have it sent in text form to my email account” Well you can and you do not even need to have Internet on your phone!

Jott is just too cool 4 school! And it is free! This post is for anyone who wishes they could transcribe their voice into text. ADMINISTRATORS this could be a cool tool for you too! Once you have a free account, Jott allows the account user to call a specific phone number (Add it on speed dial, I did!) and leave a message for yourself, anyone of your contacts, even a group. Or maybe you want to add to a “to do list” and have it emailed to you! It then transcribes your message into text via an email. It even has the option of sending text messages…but I have not had much luck with that, but you Verizon users might have more luck! It also allows those of us who use Twitter to post an entry via our phone!

TGIF!

Thanks for your great resources! I was in your session at VSTE and I check your blog every once in a while to see what you are talking about. I am an ITRT as well and I have gotten many ideas from your blog. This one sounds really great, I can’t wait to try it.

Hey I use my Jott account several times over the past week and love the information I am able to record and transcribe into text via my email account! I love the reminder feature!
