“How do I keep my phone jotts from being transcribed by other people?

Our transcribers have no way of associating your personally identifiable information with the recorded jotts they are transcribing (unless, of course, you make that information part of the recording). They operate in a ‘clean’ environment that is also used for transcribing sensitive medical dictations, with no tools or other equipment that would allow them record or make use of this information. Finally, we have very strict confidentiality guidelines for our employees and agents, and violations of these guidelines can lead to termination or other legal action. Nevertheless, we understand if you would like to transcribe your own jotts. If this is the case, simply go to the Jott.com setting page, and click the checkbox next to “Please do not transcribe my jotts”. It is very easy to transcribe your own jotts on jott.com.. ”

I think that it’s still an excellent tool, and so far my experience with it has been fairly high with regard to accuracy. Enough to jog my memory when I process my notes with my inbox.

I will have to make sure I pay attention to any sensitive information that I might “jott” to myself though!

For proof, go to the Jott FAQ and read the sections on “Speech-to-Text” and “Privacy” (last two sections).

My experience with Jott transcription is that they’ve gotten it right about 30% of the time. It’s still exciting, though - and I still use it from time to time.
