    Check out this free service: www.jott.com

    Dial a toll-free number and record a message up to 30 seconds in length. Jott will transcribe the message and send to your email account.

    Send to yourself or others.

    I use my cell phone for that. It also helps for remembering important days.

    conclusions after 15 minutes, this service blows. it looks like you can only send stuff from a computer?

    because whenever i call to "jott" myself, it doesn't send me a text. it just sends me a damn email.

    what good's an email do me out on the road etc?

    This can also be used to send a voice-created email to someone on your Jott contact list. I believe there also may be a way to send a voicemail to your or their email as well.... Haven't delved into it that far yet.

    Okay, Copernicus, some people may use it differently than you do.

    You send stuff TO a computer from your phone.

    If I'm driving down the road and see someone or something that prompts me for something I need or want to do, it's simple: speed-dial Jott, state ME/CONTACT and speak my message.

    I don't have to try to "jot" something down while I'm driving or try to remember the name or the phone or the idea until I get to a stopping place where I can then "jot" it down.

    I can send emails from my phone without having to log-on anywhere.

    Sometimes you just want to deliver information without getting into a conversation or leaving voicemail. Jott it!

    No tool does every job, but this one has some tricks up its sleeve that can be useful for many people.
