You’re driving down the road and all of the sudden you remember something you had to do, someone to call, an e-mail to send, a deadline to meet, but then you get to where you’re going and minutes or hours go by and that thought is forgotten.

So what do you do when you don’t have a pen and paper in the car or aren’t near your computer?

You use Jott.com, and “turn your words into action.”

Capture thoughts, create to-do lists and set reminders with a simple phone call. You simply speak into your cell phone and Jott converts what you say into text. This service takes anything you say, converts it to text and sends it to the recipient as an e-mail or text message if you so choose.

Visit www.jott.com and sign up for the account that works for you, then call the toll-free number (866-JOTT-123). Jott recognizes you through their Caller ID information and asks you to begin speaking.

Once you are done the audio file is passed through a quick system of voice recognition software to assure your message is clean and clear before it is sent to your e-mail or phone as text.

This quick and easy service not only allows you to remember all you have to do, but doesn’t require you to add any applications to your phone unless you so choose to do so.

The personalizing options with your Jott account allow you to create transcriptions as e-mails, to-do lists, reminders, inserts into appointment calendars. You can even update your social networking sites such as services like Amazon, Twitter, blogs and Facebook.

Many of these services are free, and a few come with a charge. Jott also offers free iPhone applications on iTunes that make their service even faster.

Another service Jott offers is Jott Voicemail. Instead of being fixed on one way to get messages from people you can use this service and voicemail messages are easily read or listened to and are delivered to you however choose.

This service lets you get your messages when and where you want them and allows you to set callback reminders, share messages, reply, search and forward them. You can also control which callers’ voicemail messages you want transcribed.

This service is set up quickly from their Web site and works with almost all phone carriers. It is $9.95 per month, but there is a one-week free trial of this service available.

So start remembering those great ideas you get while driving and sign up for Jott.
