Welcome to a new and improved Jott!

Hi there,

It's been awhile since we've seen you over at Jott.com, so we thought we'd invite you to try out the improvements we put in place since your last Jott.

Our transcription quality has vastly improved. More and more people are now using Jott to stay in touch with their family, friends and colleagues.

The website has gotten a facelift making it easier to use and more functional for those of you looking to organize your to-dos and set reminders for yourself. It's even got a great looking new design, if we do say so ourselves.

Some specific changes include:

• You can now drag-and-drop any of your Jotts to the trash when you've completed them, to a list to organize them, or a contact if you'd like to share your idea with a friend or colleague.
• It's now possible to text message and email your Jott account, which means you can now add a contact via text message, or look up contact information while you are away from your computer, all via text message.
• "Folders" are now called "Lists." All of the folders you've set up are still there, but are now organized as lists so you can print them out as checklist and cross off completed items.
• We've added a snooze function to reminders. Reply to any Jott reminder via text message or email with Snooze, and receive another reminder 15 minutes later.

Come back, check it out, and let us know what you think!

Onwards and upwards,

The Jott Team

Canadian Local Numbers Announced

Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce that Canadian local numbers are finally here!

As most of you know, we have had a Toronto Jott number (647-724-5814) for some time and have been working on acquiring more local numbers across Canada.

Still confused as to why we are not releasing a toll free number? Jott requires caller ID to know who is sending a Jott to what contact information. In an effort to protect your privacy, most Canadian mobile providers have blocked caller ID information from being passed to toll free numbers. This leaves the alternative of using local access numbers across the country, so that everyone can send Jott messages without having to pay long distance fees.

Below is the list of available Jott numbers in Canada. Find the number in your area code and program it to your speed dial today!

AURORA : +12898020110

Jott makes Valentine's Day simple.

It's easy to forget what day of the week it is, birthdays and holidays... we totally understand. Your loved ones might not be quite as understanding on Valentine's Day though, so if you are worried about forgetting that special day, set yourself a reminder!

Jott can help you to remember to buy chocolates and flowers, or call the people you love. When you call Jott, just say "Reminder", choose a time and set the date to February 14th, then leave yourself a message to remember to call that special someone. Your reminder will be delivered as an email and text message on Valentine's Day. It's that easy.

You can also Jott to Amazon for all your gift ideas. Just say "Amazon" when you call Jott, then the name of the gift you'd like to give. Jott will send you Amazon results via email. Just click on the gift you want and it will be sent to you from Amazon faster than doing it the old fashioned way. Jott and Amazon make gift giving easy. Jott is here so you don't forget.

Happy Holidays from Jott.

Dear Jotters,

I wanted to send a quick note to mark an important milestone for Jott: one year of being open to the public. It's been a blur, terrifying at times, and a blast. Without question, it's been the best year of my professional life, and I am lucky to work here.

We've survived the normal startup stuff: freak data center outages, bizarre neighboring tenants, broken romances, refurb hardware and surplus furniture. We've moved twice. And we acquired some great talent, from employees to investors. Check out some pictures of the Jott world, past and present, on our blog.

The product has been a work in process, and we've learned a ton. Early on, we had some bad transcriptions that people were (mostly) forgiving about. Some people couldn't understand why Jott didn't understand Mandarin, French and several other languages. We never did get Daily Jott right. Overall though, we've done a good job: our accuracy is approaching great, which has led to a quadrupling of the percent of Jotts sent to others. And Jott Links are just flat cool: you can shop on Amazon, price a house while sitting in your car, and create an appointment automatically with your voice.

As a holiday treat, we've cooked up a little something to help you with any kind of decision making you might have: just Jott to "8 Ball" and automatically receive your answer while still on the line with Jott. No text and emails with this one, just a little fun while deciding what you should do.

On behalf of everybody here at Jott, we wish you a safe and happy holiday period. 2008 is going to be great.

Thanks,
John

What's new at Jott

Dear Jotters,

It's been pouring buckets in Seattle for the past three days, but it looks like the rain has stopped -- just in time for us to celebrate the addition of six new Jott Links!

We've been working hard on the official release of the Google Calendar Jott Link, and we're happy to announce it's finally here. Why is this cool? Because you can now create a Google Calendar event in a single step, from anywhere, simply using your voice. Just call Jott, say "Google Calendar", and then the time of the event and what it's about….and you're done. We'll take your voice, convert it to text, and insert it into your calendar for you. "Meet Cathy at 9 am next Thursday" is no longer a to do that needs another step, it's something that's recorded in your Calendar.

Joining in the Jott Link fun are our friends at Mosio, Xpenser, Gumiyo, and Vitalist. They offer amazing services, and now they're even more accessible to you with Jott. For more information on these Jott Links and others, please visit http://www.jott.com/jott-links/.

Thanks!

The Jott Team
