I’m officially impressed

Recently a coworker told me about Sandy, aka iwantsandy.com. It’s a nifty (and free!) email-based personal assistant. You sign up, get an email address to send to, and you can send her notes like

Remember that I lent the Killer Klowns from Outer Space DVD to mom

or

Remind me on Monday to take out the garbage

and she’ll send you reminders and remember stuff for you. Slick, right? Today another coworker told me about Jott. It’s a free (while it’s in beta) service that takes voice messages from you and turns them into email messages and reminders. Well, Sandy is one of the web sites you can Jott directly, so I’m all wired. It’s really easy to set up.

I just gave Jott the acid test. Using the speakerphone at home (just to make it harder, I sent it the speech recognition acid test. And here’s what it sent back:

Sent with my voice via Jott:
It’s hard to wreck a nice beach.

Wow.
