How do you capture an idea without writing it down? Vickie Turley has
the answer in this week's Technology Product Overview.
To your success!

Product Overview: What
Is Jott?
 Are
you one of those who is out somewhere and always thinking of ideas? Or
how about when you’re in the grocery store and remember something
you didn’t do? Or do you have little yellow sticky-notes all over
the place (this is my husband)? If this sounds like you, you need Jott.
Jott is a great little progream that takes voice and transcribes it into
text. You can call the Jott number, say who you would like to "Jott"
and begin speaking. Jott then takes that audio, transcribes it into text
and sends it to the contact indicated.
You first set Jott up online by entering your contacts and identifying
the way you would like Jott to contact them. You can have Jott send a
text message to a contact's phone number, email address or both.
One of the neat ways Jott can be used is as a reminder system. If you're
in your car and think of something you need to do, whether it be personal
or business, you can call a number from your cell phone (which can be
programmed as a speed dial) and leave yourself a message. When you get
back home, the message is waiting for you.
Jott can also be used with your key clients and Virtual Assistant. After
everyone is set up, the next time they want to leave a reminder, instruction
or any other message, they can pick up their phone, Jott you, and you'll
receive an email message. They are able to get their important messages
in front of you while still leaving you undisturbed when you are busy
or otherwise unavailable to answer the phone.
Another great things about Jott is that because you are speaking on the
phone, you are not texting. You don't have to worry about spelling or
sending long text messages. You hit the speed dial number, speak the name
of the person you want the message to go to, and talk. It's that simple.
I love little programs like this that make your life simpler. This program
helps us spend more time enjoying the things we like to do without sacrificing
efficiency or having to worry about forgetting anything. Try Jotting someone
today; you'll be glad you did!
RESOURCE: Get more done with Jott!
Create to-do lists and reminders; send email and text messages; message
groups in one call... all with just your voice!
