Seattle based Jott offers a novel and convenient service that lets users speak messages; those can be sent to themselves or others as transcribed emails or voice messages.
The process is quite simple. Users can easily sign up at Jott.com, and then call Jott’s toll free number: 1-866-JOTT-123 or 347-523-8843. Once users call, Jott asks who they are sending the message to.
Users tell Jott the name (which will be located in the imported contacts). Lastly, users record their message, and hang up. Within minutes, the Jott is transcribed . Users also have the option of sending messages to themselves, by saying “myself” or pressing “1”. The Jott will then be sent to the user in the form of a text and/or email.
Jott is a really convenient and useful service. Very useful for texting or emailing on the go. Jott does use a combination of computer software and humans to transcribe your Jott.
Jott has also begun to offer a new service called Jott links. Jott Links are Web pages that receive HTTP posts and write out a text response. They are called Jott Links because they are used to “link” Jott with other services, such as blogging and social networking sites. Jaiku, Blogger, Twitter, Zillow, tumblr, and Amazon.com are some of the Jott Links available. For example, you can call Jott, say the name of the link (“Twitter!”), speak out loud your blog post, and have the message sent to Twitter. Jott can also read back any responses and send them to you via email or text message.
Companies offering similar services include SpinVox, SimulScribe and Pinger.
