I’m not so worried about publication of my phone number as I am about the conversion process. Reminds me of a Jerry Seinfeld episode and the translation of mute signing. I wouldn’t lean to heavily on the service if World Peace were at steak, — er stake.

I went to Jott.com.
regarding the cautious nature of the originator of this thread, re: phone numbers, I feel similarly. BUT, I read through their agreement/contract.
based on that alone,I cannot sign up for this. If I have to come back to continually read agreements, and be subject to unspecified ads, etc, ten this is not for me. the service sounds good, but ther is no free lunch…

I have used Jott, and it works well (if you leave it in the default setting). Basically, by default, they use a mix of automated speech recognition and if that doesn’t work, they use human transcriptionists. If you turn off the human option, it’s very difficult to have a message transcribed properly. I’m not sure how their service will scale, but I love the idea.

I have switched back to using VoiceMinder, by WebIS instead. I have it assigned to a key on my MDA and after I create a voice note, it gets emailed to me automatically. I love that!
