Something caught my eye on TechCrunch the other day: Jott
Jott is a free voice-to-text transcription service. You sign-up, confirm your email address, then pair it to your cell phone. After that, you can dial the Jott Number (1-866-JOTT-321) then dictate an up to 15 second note. It then emails that note to you (well, a link to it in the free version). You can also schedule that note to be forwarded via SMS as a reminder to you.
Very slick little service. I had a couple of ideas for blogs yesterday while Bella, Maria, and I were shopping and I just hit my Jott speed-dial, said “Jott Notes” and then dictated the topic reminder. Simple and very useful.
They’re just out of Beta…I’d look for these guys to get acquired by one of the big dogs (Google?) any second now. The technology and user experience is that good.
