Jott.com Turns Your Words Into Action
Author: Jim Edwards

Ever needed to write down an important appointment, only
find your calendar nowhere in sight? Ever found yourself
walking around the mall and had a million-dollar idea flash
into your mind with no pen or scrap of paper to write it
down? Ever called a friend or spouse from your cell phone
to ask them to write something down for you or remind you
later? If you answered "yes" to any of these or similar
questions, then the free service at Jott.com may hold an
answer that might very well change your life forever!

Jott.com allows you to call their toll-free number, leave a
15 second message, and then receive an e-mail reminder with
transcribed text of your voice message. FREE! You can even
schedule a specific time and date when the message gets
emailed to you as a reminder. Upgrading to Jott.com's
premium services (starting at less than $4 per month)
enables you to leave longer messages and integrate direclty
with more online tools, such as: Outlook, Google Calendar,
Twitter, and more. Bottom line, Jott.com makes it possible
for you to communicate, remind yourself, make written
notes, and organize your thoughts using just your phone.

Jott's Basic (free) service makes a great way to get
started making notes to yourself and scheduling reminders.
Just sign up for the free service, enter in your phone
number, make a quick confirmation call to a toll-free
number (to make sure the phone number used is legitimate),
and you can start jotting. You can even register multiple
phones on your account (office, cell, home) so you can jot
from anywhere. By the way, putting Jott's toll free number
on speed dial rates a smart move rather than trying to
remember and dial 10 digits when inspiration (or a panic
attack) strikes and you need to get it out of your brain
and recorded quickly.

Once you get a note recorded in Jott, you can optinally set
it as a reminder that gets emailed you ton on a certain
date and time right through the phone using simple voice
prompts. Once your note gets transcribed (which usually
takes less than 15 minutes), the site sends you an email
alert to log in and access the text of your note. They even
include the audio of your original note in case the text is
off because of a poor phone connection or background noise.
All your notes get organized on your Jott Dashboard in
chronological order and you can delete, highlight, and
prioritize them however you like.

Though the free level offers an excellent option, Jott.com
also offers 2 premium levels worth a look. Most notably,
the $3.95 per month level allows you to set appointments on
your Google or Outlook calendars through your phone. Also,
you can email and text your Jott Notes to specific contacts
(or even a group) - a much safer alternative to texting
while driving. With the Jott Pro plan ($12.95 per month)
you can jot for up to 30 seconds per note and post directly
to your Blogger, Titter, and Tumblr accounts.

I like Jott most because of the service's simplicity and
that it just plain works as advertised! Remember to speak
clearly and enunciate and you may just find yourself
wondering how you ever got along without Jott.com.
