Speech to Text service like Jott that is better or works with Google Voice?

I currently got Jott service (http://www.jott.com) which will convert speech to text which can be sent as a SMS or Email. Problem is they still brand there product and the don't set the reply to my personal phone number (or ideally my google voice number). They instead use a shortcode which when sent to it send my friends a jott ad. I really could use a replacement service perhaps one that even receives my text messages just like some services transcribe your voicemails or google voice which keeps a webbased log of texts. I'm legally blind and using a service that allows me to SMS with out typing out a message and allows for somebody to respond is fantastic. Hopefully Google Voice will soon enable a RSS on the SMS page and then I can have a TTS read it back to me over a phone anywhere I am.

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.

Other than Jott and Google Voice, the only other service that I know of is Spinvox (http://www.spinvox.com/) which, like Jott, uses a combination of machine and human conversion. But you can get rid of the ads in Jott by paying for the premium service which is only $4 per month. If you know of other services I would be glad to find out more.

Try Dial20 or reQall. These are free alternatives to Jott.

Google Voice Action is a decent speech to text service.

Google Voice already has a feature for transcribing voice message to text. But some of the speech or voicemail to text applications you may want to try are: Google Voice Actions, HandCent SMS, MyCaption, ShoutOut, VoiceText, etc.

do those services allow me to reference my google voice number. So I can say a txt it is transcribed and sent but instead of having a shortcode as the return have my GV number or even my own number or a number... anything other than a shortcode. or for example Jott doesn't even allow you t response to a jott message unless your a customer.
