I've written here before about how I feel that voice interaction with Windows Mobile is a very useful, made possible in large part by Voice Command. Another voice service that expands the functionality of Windows Mobile is Jott. Here is how I use it. First, I created a contact called Jott so I initiate Voice Command by pressing the call button on my Bluetooth headset and say "Call Jott." Once the call is connected I am asked "Who do you want to Jott?" and I say, "Myself." After the beep I then say whatever it is that I want to remember and I hang up. Jott then translates what I wrote to text and sends it to my email address; it even sends me a text message using SMS. When I get to a computer and check my email my reminder is there in my inbox waiting for me, along with a link to the recording in case the speech to text translation isn't perfect.

You can use Jott with a number of other web applications like Google Calendar, or another one of my favorites, Sandy. Jott is free, I think a very useful tool to add to your mobile toolbox. Whenever I think of something that I want to remember, and I am on the go such as driving to work, I Jott myself.
