Hear Me Now > Read Me Later
Voice recognition has become very reliable. I have been using a service called Tell Me to get updated on sports scores for a few years now. Just voice surf through the menu like so: Sports - Baseball - Twins and it will update you. There are other categories to choose from. Just dial 1-800-555-8355 (1-800-555-TELL) and listen, learn, speak and become informed.
Today I just learned from Mike Elgan of the Raw Feed about a new reminder service that is accessible via mobile phone. Called Jott it works like this: After a painless and easy signup that includes verifying your cell and email, you can start using the service. Suppose you make a date with a colleague for lunch on Thursday, but are not in a position to write down the details. Using your mobile phone and speed dialing you can just call in a reminder to yourself. The service will email you a transcript of the reminder which you may then enter into your calendar or whatever instrument you look to for appointments. Very cool.
