Use Google Voice to Update Your ToDo List

Written by BobW on April 13th, 2010

Have you ever noticed that your best ideas come when you have left the office, are driving your car, or are walking the dog?  Maybe you just remembered that you need to send flowers for your Mom’s birthday. Don’t lose those inspirational ideas and ToDo items.

Just call your specially configured free Google Voice number on your cellphone, record your idea and it will be transcribed and sent to you as an email. You can review the original audio as well. The following post from Drew Vogel shows you how to set it all up using Outlook. This works in Thunderbird and other email programs as well.

Google Voice provides a great, free solution that enables me to leave Jott-like messages for myself, receive an SMS with the transcription, and receive the transcription via email. And the original audio is available if I need it.

All it takes is a little bit of configuration.
