Jott links to Nozbe - dictate your tasks and notes

Michael   Wednesday, January 16

Jott is a great service that enables you to dictate your thoughts through your mobile phone and have them sent to your email address or someone else as text message.


Nozbe is a great web application for getting things done that helps you stay on top of your productivity.


Combining Jott and Nozbe gives you a powerful productivity suite. It’s like having a virtual secretary!


Now you can dictate your tasks and notes!


The power of Jott is just great – you phone a toll-free number and record a message that gets translated into a text that… can be added as task or note to your Nozbe account – to any project you want!


How to set up a Nozbe-Jott link


Just log in to your Jott account and click on the “Jott links” menu, scroll to “Nozbe” and click on the “Add” link.



Now Jott will ask you for a Link name and the default will be “Nozbe” – but I encourage you to simply put your Nozbe project’s name instead – for example: “Inbox”.



This is actually very cool – now whenever you’ll call Jott, you’ll simply say “Inbox” and dictate your task or note.


Now click “Add” and you will be redirected to a Nozbe page to confirm your login information. This is done only once for one link name. Just write your email address/nickname and password and click on the button.



Now you’ll be able to see the power of Nozbe-Jott-link  – you can choose to which projects all your Jotts will be added – in this example I’ll choose “Inbox”.



Click on the button “Link my Nozbe to Jott!” and you’re ready to Jott!


Now, whenever you call the Jott toll-free number and say "Inbox", you’ll be able to dictate your task or note and it will be automatically added to your Nozbe project!


You can add both Tasks (Actions) and Notes


If your Jott message is short, the Jott text will be added to your project as an action. If it’s a long message – it will be added as a Note to the same project. This is very powerful. You’ll be able to dictate ideas and thoughts to your Nozbe without ever losing them!


Note that it may take a few minutes for your Jotts to appear in Nozbe, because Jott needs a while to translate the speech to text. However during our tests the Jotts appeared in Nozbe after a minute or two, so there is no long waiting involved.


You can add Nozbe-Jott-Links to as many projects as you want!


The great think about our Jott link is that every Project in your Nozbe account can be your contact in Jott, so you can send voice tasks and notes to your projects quickly and easily. Just repeat the same routine I did as an example with my “Inbox”  – with any other project you have in Nozbe.


Enjoy the power of Jott combined with the power of Nozbe


Dictate your tasks and notes to Nozbe – never forget anything and have all your thoughts and information stored nicely in your Nozbe account.

Based in the UK, I would love to be able to do this with SpinVox.

This is a great idea, but it seems sort of useless if you have to call the 800 number. Is it possible to use the record feature on the iphone? I have tried it and it does not seem to work. Any ideas?

:-)

Jot has an Iphone application to allow dictation without calling the 800 number.

I have paid Jott account and appreciate this, but considering the switch to ReQall. Can Nozbe work with ReQall too?

:-)
Jon Hartley 8 Sep 09 02:18

I would also really appreciate a link to Reqall

:-)
Michael 10 Sep 09 14:57

Thanks Jon and Todd, we’ll be checking out Reqall and try to link to it as well, thanks for your suggestions!

Stevenson Munro 17 Sep 09 00:09

I’d LOVE to see a link to ReQall, also.

:-)
Alison Minaglia 22 Sep 09 01:48

I would also like a link to ReQall.

+1 for Reqall. Mainly becuase Reqall allows the link to Evernote.

I am sure a lot of Nozbe users owuld appreciate being able to integrate with Evernote.

ReQall PLEASE!

:-)
Matthew 21 Jan 10 12:59

My vote for Reqall as well!

Is there a way to Jott a starred (Next) Action to Nozbe? For example, is there a phrase I can say at the beginning or end of the Jott message that will make it a Next Action?
