New Voice to Email or SMS

posted in Deaf, General, Technology |

Found a new free services that will transcribe voice calls to email or SMS

Jott 

It has a very eye-catching Flash animation demonstrating what it can do.

I contacted customer services asking if this would be suitable for a hearing person to call Jott and leave a message to be transcribed for a deaf person to read via email or SMS and the answer was “Absolutely! This is a great idea for accessibility”.

My concern is the time between the Jott phone call and the transcriibed message. Probably not something you would do if time is of essence.

If you’ve tried using it, please share the experience in the comment box.

    I checked out Jott.com so I could see how this works. I opened an account, and I went ahead and made the call to 877-568-8486 (thru relay service). Jott wouldn’t accept the call as it has to come from your cell phone or landline phone nubmers that you register with Jott.com. So, it is for one to send voice to text messages to himself/herself, not to others.

    I am in contact with a Jott representative and will pass this information to them.
