an excellent service: Jott

I'm so glad I found Jott recently. It is a service you can call from your cell phone, and it'll send emails.

Its simplest use is like this: call it, tell it to Jott yourself, and leave a message. It'll transcribe your message and email it to you. It also includes in the email a link to the voice message, in case the transcription isn't accurate.

It works really well. I use it to send myself reminders and to document conversations. I also use it to send stuff to my Backpack home page for processing later, especially when it's not convenient to send emails.

Did I mention it's free for now? I'll likely convert to a paid customer when that happens, if it's not too expensive. I love it; it's not yet bungled a transcription.

Try it.
