Inspired by Jeremy, I dug up an old Facebook tag. For those of you used to expecting distinguished and profound posts from me, you’ll be so disappointed… For those of you who know me, this will assure you that I am still not distinguished and profound. I intercepted a note in 5th or 6th grade [...]
Jott Review
Posted By Jeff on April 20th, 2007
I first learned about Jott in a comment over at the Swerve blog in a post about Twitter. You may have seen that post yesterday. I was intrigued by the idea that by calling a free phone number and leaving a 30 second message (or less), that message would be transcribed and then sent to myself or a contact as an email or text message.
Wow. Could that really work?
So I tried it. Sign up was fast and flawless. My first test message arrived as an email within seconds, word for word, perfect.I have no idea how it’s possible. It just works. Kind of like Macs. ;) It may become one of my handiest productivity tools. We’ll see. Gotta go do some Jott-ing.

yeah, ok…I ran across this a while back myself. It’s really neat. Don’t do it over bluetooth.
I left a message to my boss that said: “Heading over to Shepherdsville Family Dentistry now. I will be there until I find something out.I will let you know what happens”
It was sent to him as this:
“Hey Norbert pay Shepard bill family din in pretty right now. I will be there till I found something out. We’ll let you know what happened.”
His name isn’t Norbert by the way. I haven’t used Jott since!

TJ,
It’s not the service at fault if you have a crappy bluetooth headset.
