I am not a big cell phone user and I have one of those phones and those accounts that is pretty expensive. I encouraged the high price plan because my cell phone offers a way to access my email remotely and this does come in handy on occasion. My wife went along (actually encouraged) the idea because somehow talking on the phone is a virtue and unfortunately one of those virtues that does not come naturally to me.
My wife does keep trying and I have to give her credit – the newest suggestion seems interesting. Her constant attention to hundreds of blog messages has uncovered Jott.
Jott is a beta online service. You connect to a number and speak the name of an individual – you say “me” if you want to send a message to yourself. The recommendation is that you set a speed dial on your cell phone – like I would know how to do that ;). You speak for up to 30 seconds. Jott translates speech to text and stores the text message and the audio in the Jott account of the individual you have identified. It actually works.
Perhaps I think in text rather than audio. Jott is perfectly suited to my “style”.
