Now I haven’t tried this yet (disclaimer). I did just sign up for an account and when I get home from my retreat, I’ll try it out full steam. This resource suggestions is based on the referral of Jocelyn Coverdale, session leader of Tech Savvy Organizing at the NAPO conference (original conference post here).

If this beta (and currently free) service works as well as she says it does, then I love it already. The premise is mobile note taking. You call a number from your cell phone and “jott” a message. It is transcribed and sent to your email. OR you can dictate a message to be sent to another email address–perfect for delegating to an assistant!

Great for capturing those thoughts that pop up in your head while out and about. Currently I use a blank book to capture these thoughts, so I’ll be interested to see how this compares in ease of use. By ease of use, I mean the whole process from capturing the thought to processing the new info into the appropriate place back in the office.

The other cool function mentioned is setting up a reminder. You can call in and set up a message to be sent to yourself on your phone (text message) at a specific time and day. (Keep in mind that if you pay for text-ing, you’ll be charged by your phone service.)

You can even Jott to your blog! There are all kinds of uses to check out. I’ll report back once I’ve tried some of them.

It’s web-based and thus Mac or PC access is fine.
