JOTT!!
Don’t know what JOTT is? Well, get a clue: http://jott.com, if you can’t wait or aren’t sure you care … JOTT is a voice recognition service. You configure to recognize your phone number so that JOTT, it self; as well as other third party applications (which JOTT calls Links) can also accept speech to text publishing.
That’s significant, to say the least. Now that everywhereToDos.com is JOTT linkable; you can call JOTT’s 800 number, and dictate a ToDo. Speech to text ToDos!!
Here’s what you do … provided you have a JOTT account:
- Login to everywhereToDos
- Login to JOTT (or register)
- Click Add Links on the right hand side of the page
- Select Custom
- You should see three fields (and a checkbox)
- Change the word “Custom” in the first field called “Link Name” to something like “To Do”
- Set the Setup URL: http://everywheretodos.com/todo/preferences.php?jott_setup=1
- Set the Link URL: http://everywheretodos.com/todo/jott.php
- Click Save
- You’ll end up on everywhereToDos (on the preferences page)
- You’re done
It’s slightly cumbersome, but worth the small hassle.
Look for a streamlining of the setup in the future.
And if you don’t JOTT yet; go sign up — it’s free & as far as getting things done goes, this is the way to track your tasks when you’re not at a computer, PDA, or internet enabled mobile device.
