no need to Text, just Jott


If you're over the age of 30 or just have big fingers, you may have decided that "texting" isn't for you, but Jott just might be. Its premise is simple: if you have a cell phone, you can dial a toll-free number, dictate a brief e-mail and have it delivered as text to a single recipient or a group. You can leave a message up to 30 seconds long. Hang up when you're through, and a few minutes later the message shows up in your recipient's e-mail box and cell phone message list. Jott uses a combination of voice-recognition software and human transcribers when the software determines a successful transcription is dicey.
