Can't Write It? Jott It.

OK, I am a sucker for new technology. I love playing with stuff. I was looking at my Gmail account and an Adword caught my eye for a product called Jott. It promised emails from voice.

So I clicked the link, read the site and signed up. It's free, so you can't beat the price. The setup was a piece of cake. I sent an email to myself as a test. The voice recognition was perfect and the whole process couldn't be simpler.

The system recognizes my cell phone number and allows me to send emails to contacts that I set up. It can read my contact names very well and I am stunned at the quality of the transcription. As a road warrior, being able to send emails without typing will be a real boon. I wonder if Jott intends to allow emails to be transcribed to voice and have them read back if I called in?

That's the voice-recognized view from The Law Planet - Jupiter, Florida.
