Free personal transcription service & assistant.
Send/reply to emails, capture thoughts, create to-dos and set reminders with your cell phone.
Jott is a simple, free service which allows you to do just about anything using your voice – and it’s remarkably accurate. You can send an email or text message to one or even a group of people at one time. You can even set a reminder using your voice that will send you a text message or email with that reminder at the time you specified. You can also schedule an appointment in your calendar.
Have you ever been in the car and needed to take a note, write down a reminder, schedule an appointment, or send someone an email or text? Sure you have.
It’s a hassle, trying to write something down or use the tiny little keyboard on your phone to send and email or text message. There have been many times that I have come close to getting into an accident while trying to do these things
The free plan allows you to send yourself unlimited 15 second voice-to-text messages. For $3.95 monthly, (The one we use) you can send unlimited email reminders to yourself or email messages to anyone by calling Jott, then telling it who you want to email.
This plan allows you to speak up to 15 seconds. There are other plans offering longer 30 sec messages. Jott is not connected with Lucero Summit in any way, but we love it.
A. Check Home Prices on Your Cell Phone
Ever drive by a house for sale and wonder what the price is? Find out on the spot using voice transcription service Jott and real estate valuation search engine Zillow. You'll need to register at Jott (it's free), and to set up a Zillow link within your Jott account. Once that's done, you can call Jott on your cell phone and speak the address of the home to get back a text message or email with the "Zestimate," Zillow's valuation. Hit the play button on the link to hear how Jott and Zillow work together to help you hunt for real estate.
B. Jott Beta for Blackberry Lets You Reply to Email by Voice
Blackberry users ony: Mobile speech-to-text service Jott has released a beta plug-in for Blackberry phones (series 8800, 8300 Curve, and 8100 Pearl only) that lets you respond to those ever-present emails with a "Reply with Jott" feature. The main advantage is that if you notice a message while driving, you can speak your reply and have it sent as an email, rather than drastically increased your chance at an accident. The program should work with most Bluetooth headsets as well, but users have noted that the program defaults to speakerphone mode upon hitting reply, although I don't have a model myself to see if that's configurable. Jott for Beta is a free download (while it's in beta, at least), and be downloaded by pointing your Blackberry to jott.com/bb.
