Oh it drives my wife absolutely crazy. There we are driving along the open roads of the beautiful metro of Oklahoma City and then she'll hear it... "DING DING" At that point she knows this ride has gone from an enjoyable ride with a safe and cautious driver into, "Crazy Drive while texting driver". I'm guilty, I admit it. Sorry.
For the life of her, my wife can not figure out why my friends and I don't simply pick up our phones and call each other. Instead we choose to go back and forth for hours texting our thoughts and observations over our phones -- sounds ironic doesn't it? Texting on our phones instead of calling on our phones. Anyway, as soon as I see the message I begin to shift into my DWT (driving while texting) position:
Knees raised to the 5 and 7 position, rolling eye checks of the traffic ahead to ensure that I've properly backed off another 10 feet from the bumper of the other car (just in case of a lock up) and I begin...
It's like a science but lately I've seen the error of my ways (and lost partial hearing in my right ear from my wife yelling, "WATCH THE ROAD")
But now, that's all gone...
Enter JOTTER www.jott.com
This little free beauty has freed me forever. It's quite simple, log on, create a profile, enter your cell number and e-mail address. At this point, you'll be prompted to call a toll-free number to confirm your phone number and there you have it.
From here, I saved the toll-free number in my favorites on my phone, I call the number and an automated voice asks, "Who do you want to Jott?" I'll say the name, it confirms and then I start recording. Once I am done the voice will tell me, "Got it". I hang up and magically my voicemail is transcribed into text and sent as a text and an e-mail to my recipient. The cool thing is that you can also set reminders for yourself, set tasks and confirmations as well.
My car is set up with bluetooth so I recorded the Jott number into my car and all I have to do is tell it to call Jott, record my message and it's delivered immediately. The best thing about it, my hands never leave the steering wheel.
Since I've signed up, the drives with my wife have gotten much more enjoyable, for both of us.
Try Jott, you'll love it.
