I’ll have to compare it to SpinVox to it for this basic use…

I’m so mad at Spinvox. I’m an Alltel customer and recently instead of a voicemail transcription, I received this message from Spinvox:
“Dear customer. We are employees of SpinVox. We convert your messages here in Pakistan. Since SpinVox has stopped has paying us. We won’t be able to convert your messages from now onwards. There is no software that converts the messages. We humans do. – powered by SpinVox”
Spinvox is clearly just an elaborate call center operation with no real speech technology. Whereas, Google is making genuine innovation in the space. It is laughable that Ms. Domecq continues to insist underpaid workers in Pakistan qualify as “speech technology”.
Here’s hoping SpinVox starts paying their bills…

I call and tell it what ever I want, and then just search evernote (my digital brain) and it is all there. This is awesome if you are forgetful!!!

It is GREAT, really useful, and the translation it does is the best i’ve seen. I also use their Voicemail-to-Text service, which again is wonderful. Big fan of Spinvox – although I’ve been worried about reports that they are burning money at an alarming rate.

Incidentally, I’ve discovered that some of the SpinVox Community like to use Memo with something like Evernote, which keeps all your notes in one place.

Maybe something worth looking at?

Cheers,

James

Dial2Do does put the message text in the subject line so you’re right – you just add it directly as a task, if you don’t mind having the [Dial2Do Reminder} also included. Dial2Do also has a bit broader selection of countries the service is available in if you need that option as well.

* Same concept for events, except that I also use Gcal as my tickler.
* I have Gcal e-mail me my agenda each day, plus text me reminders.
* I keep a pocket notebook/pen to write down any task that have to be done before I’ll get back to my computer where I can tell Gcal what to remind me about.

Admittedly this all started when I realized that the Notes and Calendar applications on the Samsung Instict phone were about as useful as being the only person in the room who knew Morse Code. Luckily the e-mail app works pretty well.

I’m interested to see how your use of GMail Tasks (GTasks??) is working out. Especially since you mentioned that you were still looking for the perfect GTD Windows client.

If you find yourself looking for a Windows client again, here’s a challenge :)

- Nip over to Balsamiq.com and ask for an “I’m an awesome blogger gimme free stuff” license, they give them out like candy :)

If you can mockup some ideas for your perfect GTD app, I’m always on the lookout for my next project :)

p.s. Balsamiq also quite literally rocks the house.
