Jott is just a front end to a bunch of people in India who then transcribe a voice message. There is some machine speech recognition I'm sure to handle the routing of the 'jott' but the jott itself is transcribed by people. It's the best kind of speech recognition available today, the kind done by a human being.

Shubhendu Trivedi was looking to create a speaker dependent, isolated word, speech recognizer for a 8051 micro-controller. But traditional HMM approaches using MFCC based feature vectors were too computationally intensive to work on this controller. He found a paper that provided the solution. In it, the authors describe a way of only using zero crossings of the speech signal to determine the feature vector. Shubhendu says in his article: This feature vector is basically the histogram of the time http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/message-boards/speech-recognition-in-the-news/zero-crossings-as-an-effective-feature-in-speech-recognition-for-embedded-applications Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:02:13 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/message-boards/speech-recognition-in-the-news/using-speech-recognition-to-display-contextual-ads-while-watching-a-video Microsoft is working on a system to allow contextual ads to be served alongside video.
