Jott brings email voice recognition to your BlackBerry

Filed in BlackBerry, News
As much as we love our QWERTY-equipped BlackBerry devices, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to reply to an email with your voice? A company called Jott certainly thinks so. Jott just finally released a public commercial version of their voice recognition software. Designed specifically for BlackBerry devices, including the 8800, 8300, and 8100, Jott adds an option to "reply with Jott" to all emails on your BlackBerry. Using a simple on-screen prompt, users can easily reply to emails with little more than a couple voice commands. It also works over a Bluetooth headset connection. We haven’t had a chance to give this one a try yet, but as soon as we get a chance to put it through its paces, we’ll let you know how well it lives up to the hype.

I am all over that! Is this the same company that converts your voicemails into text messages?

I’ve been using it for a while. Seems pretty cool. Fairly accurate. A lot more than other voice apps I’ve used. And even if it can figure out what you said, (if there’s lots of background noise) it will send you an mp3 of the recording, so you can figure it out for yourself.

This has been available for quite a while. It works very well. I have been using it for almost a year

Only problem, if you consider it that, is that it takes upwards of 15 min to send you a copy of what you said in text form. Too long for me. Nice app and works fairly well tho.

It’s pretty good, though I’m still getting used to it. Its very easy to use…I’d like a “compose email with JOTT” option along with the “Reply/reply all with JOTT” on the menu.
Does it offer that or maybe its b/c its a free version that I can’t do that

Using Mobivox’s “Send Message” you can dictate emails or sms without downloading any applications. All you have to do is register as a Mobivox user (which is free) and add contacts to your address book. Mobivox also makes your first five sent messages free…I’ve used the service and it works well. I’ve included the hyperlink to Mobivox’s product page (http://www.mobivox.com/features/#g).
