Jott.com is the most useful website I’ve seen in a while.  It’s simple… link your jott account to your phone number.   Leave a message to yourself or another contact and it gets converted to text and emailed.

I created an account for my father today.  He has never been very good with computers but he always gets asked to email clients and family.  With Jott he was able to email three people in a couple of minutes.  The quality of the transcription is very good. From what I’ve read they automate the transcripton with software then send unknown phrases to live transcribers who clean up the message.

Once I signed up for myself I instantly wanted to integrate this into other services esp. twitter.  Turns out they’ve added a development api to mashup their service with other services.  Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger, etc are supported. Works like a charm.

Def give this a try. It’s free and works in the US and CA
