We’ve had an amazing couple of months at Jott. We’ve seen great press, including the Wall Street Journal, Law.com, Yahoo! Tech, Lifehacker.com, and many others. Jott’s been hailed as “insanely clever” and a “godsend”.
Best of all, Jott has proven itself useful for a huge variety of things: hard core legal work to sales to blogging to rapping. It’s what we dreamed about.
Perhaps you jotted briefly, or have used it for much longer. Regardless of which group you’re in, thank you. You’ve been a big part of our evolution.
We have recently rolled out a much improved version of Jott. There are small changes and big ones. If you haven’t given Jott a try recently, this release makes it worth your while. Handy link: http://www.jott.com
Highlights
- Just Jott. Jott creates email and text messages completely hands free. No more driving with your knees as you type (please!). With V2, you simply Jott — to yourself, other people, or groups. This means there is a change in our voice menu: we simply ask “Who do you want to Jott?”... For a jott to yourself, just say “Myself”.
- Instant Jotts. If your message to someone has to get there immediately, use Instant Jott. Simply press 1 after recording a message to someone, and we will deliver the jott as audio right away, with no transcription.
- As for Groups... Do you hate having to make phone calls to multiple people saying the same thing? Has the soccer game shifted to another location? Jott “Soccer Team”. Flight delayed? Jott “The office”. A little late filling the tank? Jott “carpool”. With V2, simply say the name of a group you’ve created, say your Jott, and you’re done.
- Contact import. We now have a tool which makes contact importing trivial. It works with Outlook, Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail and others. Having your contact list up to date unlocks the power of Jott; it’s a voice powered address book at the other end of a simple phone call.
- Better User Interface. We’re fanatical about simplicity, and we think our new web inbox is both easy to use, and keeps your jotts better organized.
- Access for Canadian customers. We’ve received many, many requests for this. We now have it. Just dial (647) 724 5814.
OK, enough for now. Quick tours of all of this are at http://www.jott.com/jottinaction.aspx.
Thanks for jotting and spread the word!
