Jott.com – My New Favorite Web App

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Jott.comStep 1: Go to Jott.com and create an account.
Step 2: Program the Jott phone number (1-866-JOTT-123) into your mobile phone.
Step 3: Whenever you need to write a note, send yourself a reminder, or add snake oil to the grocery list; you simply call the number and leave yourself a Jott. The note is then transcribed and sent to your email (and/or sent as a text message to your phone, if you choose). You can also send the Jott to other people in your address book.

What makes this the best little web app ever ever ever?

First of all it’s simple and effective, which is always a good thing.

Second, it transcribes your voice note and emails it to you. “Are you kidding me?” No, I’m serial [sic]. In fact, I am blown away at the accuracy of the transcription. You can even spell out a word and it knows not to transcribe “…that’s spelled S-H-I-H space T-Z-U”, but instead it appears properly in the transcribed sentence, “the quick brown shih tzu jumped over the fence.” Foxy.

No longer do I need to tell someone, “send me an email and remind me” when I am not in a position to make a note. I can just Jott it in about twenty seconds. Heck, if you want, you can even use Jott to send a message directly to your Twitter blog. If you haven’t already, you owe it to yourself to start using this wonderful new tool.
