Have you ever been driving, remembered something you wanted to write
down or remember for later? You don't have a pen and paper handy, or you can't pull over to make a note, or worse, you try to multi task while driving? Problem solved with free Jott service. Call the toll free Jott number, it beeps, you leave a message.
Jott then simply and elegantly goes to work for you. You're audio voice memo is sent off and gets transcribed and send it back to you as an
email with both the original audio as well as the text of what you said
into the phone. Jott doesn't stop there. You can import your contacts from Gmail, Outlook/OE and other sources and Jott voice notes to friends and colleagues. How cool is that? Apparently you can blog with it as well. For the unorganized, it's another tool in your arsenal to bring chaos into order. For those more than slightly anal, like myself, it's a neurotic list maker's cyber dream come true! Let me know if you've tried Jott or would find this useful!
