Jott can turn your iPhone into a text recorder/transcriber

Almost all I've heard and read about since the launch of a certain new, improved iPhone last week is applications - the popularity of the new apps store, the best free apps... it's been, quite frankly, apps up to my ass. But I'm not easily impressed. There's only so long I can be enthralled by Tetris or Scrabble on my phone (and that's quite a long time, but we all get bored eventually).

What I'm really interested in knowing about are honest-to-goodness useful applications that could actually make my life easier (my imaginary life, where I own an iPhone 3G, that is).

And Jott is one of the few apps to actually get me interested.

It turns the iPhone into a voice recorder, and even more excitingly, has the ability to transcribe those notes into text. And everything is backed up onto the web. All for free! (You just have to register for an account; clicky here).

Let's hope we see more of these useful apps in future...

Via Crave.
