Just an FYI – I’ve been using JOTT for sometime now. Its transcription seems as good as twitterfone.

The Nice thing about JOTT is you can link it to your Twitter Account. So you can use JOTT for Email, Expenses, Todo Lists, and Twitter.

More bang for your non-existent (b/c its free) Buck.

Damn I sound like i work for JOTT, I don’t but I do like it and thought it was relevant to the conversation.

Let’s see how it is going to scale once out of private beta.

Since I don’t have qwerty (yet) on my phone, this sound pretty awesome.

Be interesting to try. Can see a possibility for use in flashmobbing.

I wonder how the various cellular networks will affect accuracy? It’s possible that between cell networks and cell phone manufacturers accuracy may be reduced. The sound quality on my LG enV sucks compared to my old Motorola Razr on Verizon.

I would love to give it a try. Have you consider ask groups of people with different accents to see whether accents will make a difference?

Your test results weren’t too bad. I’m still skeptical re:voice rec on anything. I’d like access to the beta to see for myself.

Yeah that’s great and all, but why not just use Jott?

Nice post. if for no other reason than to up supposed unlucky post count, I felt compelled to comment. :) Anything else, is just the gravy on top.

I thoroughly enjoyed the procession and results of the tests you completed. I was practically begging you for an invite…. I still am

As a Twitter addict (@bck), how could I not post a comment for the chance at an invite?

This is great — I’m always looking for ways to get the news out faster in my area of California.

This is quickly going to become a must-have tool. Here’s to hoping I’ll get a beta key.

I would definitely love to try a voice interface to twitter.

Do people still think these services are primarily software? Some perhaps… But weren’t you suspicious when it got the meaning perfect but not the exact words?

I might actually use twitter if I had a beta key. Thanks!

I wonder if people will be reluctant to use this service in public areas because they don’t want people to overhear?

Thanks for the comments here. I’m looking forward to using it when I receive an invite (one way or anotherr!) :)

The voice rec. looks pretty strong. This could up twitter’s appeal for me a good bit.

This is the app that would make me Twitter regularly. Right now I twitter once-twice a week but if I didn’t have to find a computer OR suffer an iphone ‘keyboard’ – wow, I’m there.
