"Jott" it down

Most part of the day I am in front of a computer and have enough paper with me but sans ideas to note down. On the rare occasion that an idea strikes me (that I would like to note down) I find myself with neither a computer nor paper. The days of forgotten ideas (and errands) are gone. Jott is a great website that provides a free transcription service. You can call a number and record your notes in jott. Jott will then transcribe your recorded message and send you an email. It recognized my south Indian accent perfectly well. To my surprise, it transcribed my Hindi message flawlessly! Here is the transcription of my Hindi message:

Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.

Go ahead try it out (www.jott.com). It is a great and fun tool to use.
