I have fallen in love with a service from a website called jott.com. With jott.com I use my (cell) phone to send myself or others emails. I pick up the phone and dial a central number and leave a voice message for someone in my jott.com address book. To leave myself a message I simply say “myself”. Then an email with a message transcription and an attached audio file is sent to that email address. The voice recognition works surprisingly well. When I dictated part of Richard the 3rd as a test I got this phrase:

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York

The only word it got wrong was using “sun” for “son”. Not bad.

What I like about this service is that as someone who is middle aged who is always thinking about 10 things at a time I just have to pull out my cell phone and leave myself a message to get the idea out of my head and into my email. As a email addicted person with a cell phone, a laptop Jott.com helps tie my life together. Cool.
