Dial2Do - Send yourself reminders using your voice

Frequently when I am driving the 25 minute commute to or from work I think of things I want to do. In the past I would try and grab a piece of paper and make a note to remind myself. I knew this was not the safest method but I did not want to forget the idea. Often I was unable to make a note and I just hoped I remembered the idea when I got to my destination. Shortly after getting my iPhone over a year and a half ago I found out about a service called Dial2Do. The service allows me to use my voice to send myself email reminders. It converts my voice into text and then sends an email. Along with the text version of the email you can listen to the original voice message. The service does so much more, but I use it to primarily send myself email reminders. I have used it to send emails to other people in my contact list. The service is free and works very well. I would say I have had about 90-95% accuracy with the conversion of my voice to text. Dial2Do works with any type of cell phone.

You can use Dial2Do to update Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress, Xpenser, Evernote, Toodledo, and even your calendar. You can even listen to the weather or your emails. Follow the link above to check it out.
