I really like this service, though there are now a bunch of similar ones springing up and I can't tell which is best.

• Braincast archives your voice notes online and (I think) emails them to you as .wav files; nice fast interface; but no transcriptions
  
• ReQall has transcriptions plus recognizes some voice cues, like you can tell it to create a meeting or a task for you

I have this vague idea in my mind that there was at least one other good one I'd discovered, but now i can't remember what it was.

I have this vague idea in my mind that there was at least one other good one I'd discovered, but now i can't remember what it was.
Keep in mind that there are some privacy issues with the transcriptions. They're done by a combination of computers and human beings. I wouldn't record, say, a social security number on one of these things. But you probably would know better than to do that anyhow.

The transcription part isn't 100% perfect, but then someone with accent shouldn't really complain. I do think the human involvement in the process will severely limit their growth potential.

I think it's not for everyone, but anyone out in the field (like in sales) - it's a perfect tool. In my daily meetings with various people it's a pain to keep track of who said what, follow-ups etc. and I hate paper (let me rephrase that - I like trees better), so I was using my little mp3 player that has voice recording for tracking various things and then when I'd get back to the office - I'd listen to them and enter them into the appropriate software, calendar etc. A little awkward.

With Jott - it's so much easier and better to accomplish this.

One thing I wish they'd add is integration with Google Calendar. If they could feed the transcript directly to Quick Add option - that would be an excellent feature, because then you could make appointments for yourself on the calendar via voice. Google allows cell use for creating appointments via SMS, but just calling and saying it would be a nice alternative.

Thanks enbar for pointing out the other similar services - I'll definitely check them out as well.
