Jott is a voice-to-text transcription service which allows its users to call a toll-free telephone number and speak for up to 30 seconds. The speech is then transcribed to text using a combination of software and human transcribers who work in a "sterile environment which also includes medical dictation." The message can be sent back to oneself, turned into a reminder, sent to a contact or group, or sent to a third-party "Jott link" such as LiveJournal. Transcribed messages can be delivered to recipients via email, text message, or both.
Jott was founded in April 2006[1] and gained $5.4 million in venture capital in May 2007.[2] Investors in the firm include Ackerley Partners and Draper Richards.[3]
As of July 14, 2009, the company was purchased by Nuance Communications.[4]
On April 4, 2011, it was announced that the Jott.com service would be ending on May 3, allowing the company to instead "focus our voice-to-text service investments on carrier and enterprise distribution".[5]
