Just read about this on lifehacker.  Jott is a free service that transcribes your messages and sends the text to people’s e-mails.  Studentl.inc has a how-to guide to set-up your gmail account to automatically filter and label your messages so you can have a functional to-do list.

I tried out the service yesterday and its pretty good.  I recorded two messages and they came into my e-mail account after 5-10 minutes.  The website says they use a combination of computers and humans to transcribe each message.  What an interesting job… I guess I won’t send out messages that are too personal to have transcribed.

The next time I’m driving on the freeway and I think of something I need to do, I’ll use Jott.  Often times I think of things I need to get done, but I don’t have a computer or pen/paper handy to write it down.  I set the phone number to Jott on my speed dial so now I’m set to go.

Check it out over at Jott.
