Jott This: Writing My Blog with My Voice!
One of my goals is creating this blog is to discuss the moxiest, newest technology out there. Although Jott has been around for a little while, the services that Jott has recently added now have my attention. Once you’ve created a free account with Jott, all you have to do is call a toll-free number and speak whatever it is you wish to say clearly. You then have the option for Jott to transcribe what you say and send it to any of your contacts on email or now even Twitter.
They also just added cross functionality with Wordpress, the software I use for my blog. I can literally call the Jott toll-free number next time there’s breaking news and within seconds, Jott will transcribe my voicemail into a new blog post for you to read. Moxie indeed!
Here’s an example of a call I just made to Jott:
“Hey guys I am using jott to write my new blog posts and I just wanted to say hello, this is very moxie.” Listen to Jeff’s Voicemail Here

Now THAT is cool. This will come in very handy for me. I spend a lot of time in the car. Now I can phone in my blog updates. I just hope it works well with southern accents.

Wow! That sounds very cool. That could be really useful for people at say CES or some other trade show (although you may have to find a bathroom stall or something so you don't get words from other conversations mixed in). I don't see myself using it for my blog, ( whttp://www.geekhangout.wordpress.com ) but that's just because I'm always at home. I just found your blog through twitter (@tonychall), twitter is so awesome.

Yes. Absolutely free.

This is the one that actually sends your messages to India to have them transcribed, right? I would feel bad having an actual person sit there and transcribe my stuff…feels too much like slavery. (or the 50’s)
