Recently one of my ULTRA eTEAM members wanted a way to instruct her VA on what she wanted done just using her cell phone. It was also important that these instructions came over as text, not just a voice mail message. Then I remembered this incredible service that did this and so much more…

Jott is an online service that transcribes any voice mail message you leave on it’s service and sends the transcribed text to whoever you want –all controlled by simply your voice!  Here’s how it works:

1. Call into the special Jott phone number (866-568-8123)
    
2. The system will say “Who do you want to Jott?” and you just name the contact to whom you want your transcribed message sent
    
3. Say your message

And that’s all there is to it!  Jott will proceed to transcribe your message and send it via email to your named contact.  At this point you are probably wondering how Jott knows where to send your transcribed message.  Well, you can import your contacts from Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or a CSV file.  Once imported, Jott does a pretty good job of recognizing the correct record simply by you saying their name.  Then Jott sends the transcribed message email to the email address associated with the name you imported.

You can try Jott for free for a week.  After that, if you decide to keep using it your looking at $3.95 per week (as long as you can keep your messages at 15 seconds or less –no limit on number of message though).  Currently this service is only for US and Canada (sorry Mates Down Under ).  Since so many sales associates run their business via their cell phone, this just one more way to make that a bit easier.
