Dial2Do is a free phone service that lets you get things done just by phoning a number and saying what you want done. You can call Dial2Do and say “email” to send an email, “text” to send a text message, “note” to…well you get the idea! It is being introduced to the US market at CTIA in Las Vegas.
Dial2Do is adding services all the time. Now you can do the following critical tasks hands-free via voice:
- Write Notes – Dial2Do will ask you what you want to be reminded about/ note, and then send you an email with the details
- Compose and Send Emails — Dial2Do allows you to “speak” your emails and pick the recipient. Then Dial2Do sends them email with what you said, and a link to the audio so they can hear
- Compose and Send Text Messages — as above, but via SMS
- Twitter — Dial2Do allows you to speak updates to your Twitter feed
- Jaiku — Dial2Do allows you to speak updates to your Jaiku feed
- Jajah — Say ‘Jajah’ and the name of the person/group, then hang up and Dial2Do will connect your call
For services that require transcription (email, text), Dial2Do uses a combination of both automation and human assistance. The service “learns” from corrections made by human agents, so the more the user uses the service, the better the automation gets.
So it sounds like a fairly handy service if you are in to (a) making calls and (b) not writing stuff down – but what say you, IntoMobile readership – would you actually use it?
