@Berry Jerry, I am writing about this topic and just went back to that site to check on Jott Networks and couldn’t find anything “suspicious” about it. It looks like a company in very good standing, although I am not so sure about the quality of the service. What do you mean with “fine print”? Can you please direct me to the relevant information?

@Nikolaus, still using it? Still loving it?

I’m with Luciano ES. Read the fine print, people. This is bogus “speech recognition” — basically cheap labor in India is listening to your 30-second message and transcribing it. Avoid!

“Jott is currently only available to US and Canadian subscribers.”
.
First you need to register with an e-mail address, which must be validated. THEN you are informed that you need to register with your phone number too. Which must also be validated by calling a certain phone number with caller id not blocked. Plenty of effort to make sure you’re not trying to cheat, i.e. use it from another country.
.
I can only wonder why they can’t specify that in the jott.com/default.aspx or jott.com/bb pages. Reading the FAQ, one can suspect that “Jott is currently only available to US and Canadian subscribers”, but it is not stated clearly. What a waste of my time.
.
Now I’m dying to see someone test this thing and let us know how accurate their speech recognition really is. Screw this Jott thing. I don’t know how accurate it is, but I know that people understand very clearly the MP3 messages I send them with VR+, which can record and send voice messages in any language whatsoever provided both the recipient and I speak that language, and my recipients have excellent speech recognition abilities.

Update: I wrote my comment after trying Jott but before installing the BB app on my 8320. It installed, but I couldn’t find it. Applications list shows it, but my home screen or any folder doesn’t contain it.

It actually only shows up when you click Menu on any e-mail and then you can Reply with Jott. Just wanted to post my initial confusion so others don’t think it’s missing like I did.

Wow!! I just tried this! This in combination with Google’s GrandCentral which I control from my BB Browser, makes my BlackBerry even more kick ass then I could ever have imagined. The review here does not give Jott justice, as it does so much more than the reviewer writes. Try it yourself. Again, wow wow wow!
