Lynn Jordan: Empowering writers to use technology to write and promote better, faster, and easier

Jott your reminders and ideas

If you are like me, your best ideas come when you are unable to grab a pen and write them down. My memory isn’t as good as it use to be. Whenever I get this great idea that I’m sure I’ll never forget, I usually only remember that it WAS a great idea.

One company has come to my rescue. http://jott.com is a service that you set up with your cell phone. You can call in and leave voice messages. These messages are then emailed and/or texted to you or anyone else you choose.

This voice-to-text service is remarkably accurate, even with my Yankee infected Texican accent. You can’t leave long messages, but you can leave a message that’s long enough to remind you of your fabulous idea.

Now, all I need is a water-proof cell phone or voice recorder. My best ideas still come in the shower. I have been taking my cell phone into the bathroom with me. Usually I can remember my brilliant idea for a few minutes after I leave the shower.

Try Jott and let me know how you like it. If you have other great ideas for capturing those flashes of brilliance, please leave a comment.

Write on,

Lynn Jordan

  1. Nice writing style. I look forward to reading more in the future.


  2. I must be honest, Lynn …

    And I have a confession. I haven’t yet figured out how to retrieve voice messages from my darned cell phone! Jott may have to be a technology that I’ll just have to put on the back burner.

    Thanks for sharing the info, though.
