Web Searching is similar to treasure hunting. Sometimes, you need to surf through tons of useless information before you discover something of great value. Sometimes, later, you find out that what seemed to be gold at the first glance was not exactly gold, but it will be later. The first moment is great!
I felt good, when I found earlier today a free service, called Jott ( http://jott.com/default.aspx ). Jotts defines its application spec as “converting your voice into emails, text messages, reminders, lists and appointments”. Yes, Jott can do what it claims, and much more... Once you have a free account, which is synchronized with any of your phone numbers (your cell phone number would be the best choice to get a maximum utilization of the Jott services), you can set up lists of people with whom you want to communicate, including yorself. So, you have multiple options available in choosing destination of your message (reminder to yourself, message to one person, announcement to the group, etc.)
It is easy to imagine the extended list of potential situations, when the Jott services might be a real treasure for the busy professional. Setup auto-dial voice listing for Jott number on your cell phone, and if you remembered something urgent, while driving, call Jott, speak the message, and within seconds (actually, it is up to 10 minutes), it will arrive to you as a reminding text message or/and as email, serving as an additional reminder, once you get back to the office. You late for meeting - just Jott your coworkers, and they will instantly get the related emails. The following video shows how easy the process of voice navigation from the mobile phone is.
And all that for free??? Yes, the Jott services are free during beta. However, your cellular carrier might apply the standard text messaging charges, if text messaging option is enabled in your settings. You can choose receiving an email only, limiting your charges exclusively to extra phone minutes use. I expect that when beta period will be completed, some billable options will be added by the company. But, who knows when and how that will happen. Let’s use it now!
And, hopefully, the gold treasure Jott , discovered today, will not turn up to be a useless junk. ![]()
