Update on Jott.com

I first posted about Jott.com back in June 2007 and received a lot of positive feedback from readers and clients who test drove this free message/transcription service themselves.
Based on my own personal use, I heartily endorse it. I use it to send myself messages often when I'm driving or am in a place where I can't conveniently write stuff down. I have hesitated to use it to send messages to clients and colleagues, mostly because of the often "creative" interpretations of my messages by transcribers in India.
But I'm pleased to report that Jott has greatly enhanced their service. They now rate the level of "transcription confidence." And I noticed that the quality is much better. Plus you can always listen to a recording of your message, forward it to others, or set it as a reminder to be sent to either your email address or phone number. This is hands down the best new tool that I have incorporated into my business in 2007.

I've noticed the quality of the transcriptions as well. They've been nailing the proper nouns even! I was jotting to a movie review yahoo group (which btw is a jott link feature) and I mentioned the IMAX theater the other day, and Jott sent back exactly "IMAX" It was awesome!
Hi, Lemar.
Cool! Thanks for your comment. It's good to hear from someone else who has notice the positive changes on Jott. I wonder when they are going to take it off beta status and start charging for it???
honestly, I was under the impression that it was going to pull out of beta when this new version came out. But then again, there has been talk about some business model of Jott, which they will charge for. However, I was told that there will always be a free version of Jott :)
Good to hear that. Hopefully they will follow through with that. Seems like a lot of other internet services are using that model, such as FreeTranslation.com which I just posted about and EzEzine.com which both offer free and fee-based, premium versions. Thanks, again.
