The car says "please say command". I say "call jott". The car understands this, look's up Jott's toll-free number, and sends it by Bluetooth to the cell-phone in my pocket. Jott answers and says "Who do you want to Jott?". I say "myself" or "Cheryl" or whomever. It says "go ahead". I speak the message, and then press the button on my car that hangs up the phone. Jott sends email with a transcription or what I said, plus the audio, to the associated email address. And, for some reason, this is all free; see jott.com.
