One minor downside to a Web 2.0 app
I LOVE Jott! It allows you to send e-mail by voice. You call the number, it transcribes what you say, and sends an e-mail to whomever you choose. It’s a great way to get that spontaneous idea to someone when you’re not in a convenient place to send them an e-mail, but the idea isn’t urgent enough for you to call them. I’ve even been using this service to send reminders to myself and it’s been great.
One downside is that it will transcribe EXACTLY what you say….all your speaking imperfections, splayed out on the screen in all their glory. Below is one example of a message I sent to my husband last night. I knew he was coaching our son’s basketball game, so I didn’t want to bother him, but I did want to get the message to him.
Like, oh my gosh! Like, that’s so…like…embarrassing!
