Jott for Outlook
Jott for Outlook allows you to easily create tasks, add calendar appointments and draft emails with a simple call to Jott. It's all the things you love about Jott made specifically for Microsoft® Outlook®. Jott for Outlook also allows you to import your Outlook address book into Jott and to create Jott Reminders on any Outlook email, calendar appointment or task.
Jott for Outlook works with computers running Windows XP and newer, and Outlook version 2003 and newer.
How does it work?
First, download the addin for Windows XP or Windows Vista/7. You’ll walk through a short set-up process, which may instruct you to close, and then restart Outlook. Once installed, you will see the Jott menu appear in Outlook and, at Jott.com, you'll notice that you have three new lists - Outlook Calendar, Outlook Task, Outlook Draft.
Now, you can call Jott to:
Add an appointment to your Outlook calendar. Call Jott and say "Outlook Calendar."
After you confirm, simply say the name of your appointment then follow the prompts to set the date and time. Your appointment will show up in Outlook just as if you had set it on your PC.
Draft an email when on the go. Call Jott and say "Outlook Drafts."
After you confirm, simply say your message. An email will appear in your Outlook "Drafts" folder containing the text of the message you leave.
Create a task. Call Jott and say "Outlook Task."
After you confirm, simply speak your task. Your new task will be added to your Outlook Tasks.
Within Outlook you can also:
Add a reminder to an email.
Right-click on the email on which you want to set a Jott reminder, and then select “Add Jott Reminder” from the list of options available. You'll be prompted to select a date and time for the reminder, as well as whether you'd like to receive it as an email, text message or both. (see below)
Power Tips
- Automatically set a calendar appointment for 24 hours from the time that you called by hanging up before answering the "Outlook Calendar" date and time prompts.
- Add a reminder to any email message or task by selecting the Jott icon from the drop down menu that appears when you right click on that message.
- To sync your Outlook contacts with Jott, click the Jott "sync" icon that appears in your Outlook menu bar, and then check the "Sync my contacts with Jott" checkbox.
FAQ
Q: Why does Jott tell me I have two contacts named "Calendar" or "Task" or "Email Draft" when I call?
A: If you've named another list on your Jott account "Calendar", "Task", or "Email Draft", before downloading the Outlook add-in, you'll need to rename one of the two lists so we know exactly where you'd like those messages sent. You can do this by logging on to your Jott account and clicking on the list whose name you'd like to change. From the "More Options" drop down menu select "Rename list" and type in the new name of your list.
