ReQall - Way Better than Voice Memo for iPhone

As someone who often thinks up brilliant* ideas while driving, I’ve been looking for a safe way to make note of them in the car. I’ve got me this iPhone here, but it has no Voice Memo feature. Nor is it possible to leave myself a voicemail with it. (At least not without some crazy setup). What’s a guy to do?

Well, I just discovered ReQall.com, and it is way cool. Just sign up, call a special phone number and leave a message whenever the urge strikes you. They will then take that message and transcribe it to text - using actual human beings - (you can request a no-human version if you’re paranoid, though you risk set so doubling the killer delete select all).

You can then peruse your memos online later via the regular web or via a special iPhone interface.

I’m not sure how these guys make money, but there are plenty of hooks in the system for them to throw ads into. Haven’t hit them yet, though, and I’d be willing to put up with an occasional commercial message for this service - as long as they don’t affect the memo recording process.

* ideas may not be brilliant
