Oct 14, 2008 -- Try hands-free texting and e-mailing with Jott

Like all Americans, Clark was saddened to hear about the terrible train crash in California that looks like it happened because the operator was busy texting instead of monitoring track signals.

When Clark commutes, he's shocked at how many people around him are texting or e-mailing on smart phones. He too was guilty of reading e-mails while he drove until he heard about the train crash. However, he was never crazy enough to try texting while driving.

After all, a car on the freeway travels about 25 yards in just one second. That's a sobering thought.

Nothing is so important that you have to text or e-mail about it while driving. But if it simply can't wait, try Jott.com. This service used to be free, but it now costs $3.95/month. Jott allows true hands-free texting and e-mailing with voice-recognition software that types your message for you (and sends it) as you speak.


Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.

    Jott this! SayType offers 2 minute talk time with unlimited text and e-mail messaging for FREE! (and without the stupid spelling/grammer errors) Plus, UNLIMITED internet searching capabilities and driving solutions that improve my drive time, saving me countless hours typing and driving each week.
  • Great when the were free
    Jott was great when it was free, but I don't like how the went to a paid system, and then asked why all their members hadn't been using the service. I'm willing to listen to ads, but not pay for this. Bad call Jott.
  • But, ? How Well Does ? Jott.com Work ?
    Dave Ransey for Mayor !!! I am hoping for comments on subject/project Jott.com.! Does the program work?, cost vs. not using?, What are the bugs. ? I hesitate to load new software.! ... as cost is now in the issue, most likely to NOT be installed..........
  • if you're gonna whine about spelling...
    zed -- you might want to check your own:

    it's = it is
    its = possessive form of of it

    But hey, we're all geeks here. Can't we just get along? peace
  • Responding to "Dave's" comments
    In response to the comment from "Dave"-your opinion would bear more weight if you knew how to spell correctly-lol (i.e. "thier"). There's a time & place for texting and if you don't understand it's appeal be glad you don't have to take advantage of this technology and chill out!
  • Studid is as stupid does. This seems to be the new motto in society. Everyone really needs to take a step back and realize the real danger of texting while driving. Nobody ever takes responsibility for their own actions anymore and putting others at risk should mean more punishment if proven you were texting when the accident happened. What is America coming to?
  • Stupid People
    You hit the nail on the head. People are stupid beyond belief. It seems the stupid people massively outnumber sensible people. And, nowhere is that more evident than on the streets and freeways of America.
  • stupid people
    I overheard a guy complaining that his new phone is too complicated and makes it hard to text while he drives, this to me is pure stupidity. if you have something that just cant wait and must be communicated while driving, why not call?....texting is much harder than actually calling and talking to someone and has no pratical use outside of being polite and not interupting a movie or meeting with a phone conversation. It is used to cheat on tests in school and send clandestine messages, and should not be a primary use of a phone. Are stupid people taking over? don't they know how to use a phone, by speaking? If anyone runs into me in thier car because they were texting or distracted by talking on thier cellphone i think I ought to be able to sue them for extra money for thier negligence...it would be easy to supeona thier phone records and see what they were doing at the time of the accident and if they had to pay up in court, it might discourage this stupid practice....these are probably the same dummies that before cellphones would try to read the paper while driving, or wanted to watch tv on thier dashboard.
