Dictation with your cell phone? Use the free Jott service!

Jott is a digital transcription service, which basically means they take a voicemail that you send, transcribe it into text, and send it to a recipients e-mail address.

Using Jott is pretty simple: sign up for a free account, enter some address book information (names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses), and then you can use the service! Just call Jott and say the name of the person or group you want to get in touch with. Once you say your message Jott will confirm it and ask if you want to send it now as a voicemail or have it transcribed as an e-mail.

The service is good but it isn’t perfect. Automated voice to text systems can be tricky at times, and uncommon words are usually not translated very well.

For the most part Jott is simple, fun, functional and free!
