iCali | iPhone App Reviews — Jott
I love Jott as a Speech to Text service. I’ve talked about it a couple times on GeekBrief.TV and I use it in my life often. Jott is a way to send reminders to yourself. Set up an account, call the Jott phone number, leave a message reminding yourself to buy a banana at the grocery store, and you’ll get an email reminder with the message written out in text form. It’s not perfect. No speech to text service is yet, but even when it gets a word wrong, most people recognize it enough to remember what they needed to do.
For me, Jott for the iPhone doesn’t add any useful functionality. Instead of getting emails with my reminder, I have to look at the Jott Notepad to see what I need to do. The brilliance of Jott has always been that you don’t have to go through any extra steps to be reminded. If I’m going to forget to do something, I assure you I’m going to forget to check my Jott Notepad on the iPhone. Again, the point was that you don’t have to do anything.
I won’t be using this application. I’ll stick to the simple phone call. That being said, I imagine there are people out there who prefer to check the Jott Notepad. Regardless of HOW you might use it, I highly recommend Jott’s service and encourage everyone to sign up for an account. No more random stickies lying around all over the car, the house and your purse!
