Jott. The name itself is simplistic. Even the slogan says “Get Simple Back”. The more I use Jott, the more I am impressed with what it does.

Jott.com is a service that allows a person to make a phone call from their cell phone and dictate a message. This message is then transcribed and sent automatically in an email. The email contains both the transcribed message as well as an audio file of the message. This in itself is impressive, but Jott has taken their product steps further.

The uses of Jott are endless.  If you have ever been out away from pen and paper and you suddenly have that “golden idea”, a quick phone call to Jott is all that is needed to record your message.  Within moments, an email arrives with your message transcribed. 

But that’s only the beginning. Imagine needing to get a quick message out to everyone in your office.  Jott allows you to set up groups.  Your call would go something like this:  Dial Jott on your cell phone - A recorded voice greets you with “Who would you like to Jott?” You answer “The Office” (The office is a group you’ve set up ahead of time) - the automated voice says “The Office - Got it.  Leave your message at the beep”.  You leave your message, after which you hang up.  Within minutes every person in your office receives an email with your message.  If they choose, they can play the audio file.

Do you use Google Calendar?  Jott has a solution here as well!  Dial Jott on your cell phone - at the voice prompt of “Who do you want to Jott?” say “Google Calendar” - For Google calendar, your message would be something like “Meet Bob for lunch Tuesday at 12:30pm” This time, in addition to receiving your message in your voicemail, your Google Calendar now has an entry for Tueday that shows up as “Meet Bob for Lunch” and is set on the calendar at 12:30pm on Tuesday.

How about Twitter?  Jott Twitter directly from your cell phone.

Blog on Wordpress or Blogger?  Leave a Jott message that appears automatically within your blog!

Yahoo Groups, Jaiku, Zillow, Typepad, Remember The Milk and Expenser are other Jott links.  At last count there are over 25 different places that you can Jott to.

Setting up a Jott account is simple.  Go to Jott.com and register for an account.  You can add individuals to your Jott address book or you can import multiple contacts via Jott’s simple CSV import tool.  Voice recognition works very well in Jott.  You simply say who you want to Jott and Jott repeats the name back to you.  If Jott repeats the wrong name, no problem, you simply say the name again.

A web based inbox shows you all of your previously sent Jott messages along with audio file links.

And what is the cost of this product?  It’s Free!  At least for now.. it’s in Beta and has been for some time and appears to be staying free now.

So what are you waiting for?  Go to http://www.jott.com right now!
