Jott was a web-based voice-to-text transcription service[1] which allowed its users to call a toll-free telephone number and speak for up to 30 seconds. The speech was then transcribed to text using a combination of computerized speech recognition software and human transcribers[2] who worked in a "sterile environment which also includes medical dictation." The message could 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.
History
[edit | edit source]Jott was founded in April 2006[3] and gained $5.4 million in venture capital in May 2007.[4] Investors in the firm included Ackerley Partners and Draper Richards.[5]
As of July 14, 2009, the company was purchased by Nuance Communications.[6]
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".[7]
Service
[edit | edit source]Transcribed messages could be delivered to recipients via email, text message, or both. After completing its beta stage, Jott services were offered according to several subscription plans: Jott Basic (free); Jott ($4/month) and Jott Pro ($13/month).[8] There were other plans such as the $9.95 per month package, which included forty transcribed voice mails.[9]
