Jott to Drop All Free Services, Launches Voicemail Transcription Today - Lifehacker

Bad news/Good news from Jott: The voice-to-text service (one of David Allen's favorites, we just learned) will drop all free services on Feb. 2. Today, however, they're launching a new voicemail transcription service.
Jott had already scaled back its free offerings when it jumped out of beta in August 2008. Jott's CEO John Pollard told TechCrunch's Michael Arrington that the downward spiral of advertising markets led to the decision to drop even limited free services. That means everyone, including users of Jott's free iPhone app, will require a minimum $4/month plan to continue using Jott's transcriptions to email, SMS, webapps and task management tools.

The rest of the apps ranged in price from 99 cents to $9.99 and even more. The market is already doing that sorting.(Apple)
