Jott, a voice-to-text transcription service, is ending all free services. Anyone use/know a free equivalent?

Next week all free Jott accounts will be suspended.  Even though the service is only $3.95 a month, I simply cannot afford another web service.  Does anyone use anything else besides Jott to create voice-to-text emails and reminders?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It depends on what functions you want. If you just want the voice-to-text, Dial2Do is by far better than ReQall. It does play nicely with a number of applications, including Sandy (who is now sadly seen the pink slip--but a development group is trying to get her on board with them).

Reqall is great if you want it to be a sort of verbal Evernote. However, because of the way it's set up, it is very difficult to get it to integrate with other services.

A nice setup I *used* to have is Jott to Sandy to Gmail, which I then had set up with a couple of gadgets to automatically update my Gcal and Remember the Milk. When Jott first went paid, I tried both Reqall and Dial2Do, and ended up sticking with Dial2Do. When Sandy was fired (or killed, depending on how you look at it), I moved to just sending things to my Gmail. The one thing I miss is Sandy's messages and the daily agenda. And having to later go in and set reminders, which I didn't have to do with Sandy.

Hope this helps. Jott to Sandy was such a great time-saver, but you can do much the same thing with the services above.

Here are a couple of options:
  1. ReQall: By integrating voice input, speech-to-text transcription, automatic
    organization and multi-platform reminders, reQall goes beyond typical
    to-do and reminder applications. http://www.reqall.com
  2. Dial2Do: lets you do common tasks by just calling a number and speaking.
    Use it to send email or text messages, record reminders to help you remember things,
    post updates to your twitter or jaiku stream and listen to your favourite internet content. http://www.dial2do.com
Both services are free.
