God Bless the Internet
As Chris says,
God Bless the Internet. Introducing
www.jott.com - call and leave yourself a voicemail and it emails it to you. Pretty cool.
I tested it with a hard message: "This is about monkeys and giraffes" and it got the monkey part. But it also links to an audio recording if it can't transcribe the text.
I sent myself a message at 8:16 PM and got the email at 8:24. Pretty cool!
