Voice to Text for Asana
Asana keeps your team organized. But typing detailed task descriptions, comprehensive project briefs, and thoughtful status updates slows everything down. Blurt lets you hold a button, speak naturally, and release. Your text appears instantly in any Asana field — tasks, subtasks, comments, project descriptions, or status updates. No context switching, no copying from other apps. Just talk and your work management stays current.
The Typing Problem
Task descriptions stay vague because typing takes too long
You create a task and know exactly what needs to happen. The requirements are clear in your head. But typing out all the context, acceptance criteria, and edge cases takes fifteen minutes. So you write a one-liner and move on. A week later, you or your teammate stares at the task and has no idea what it actually means. The context that was clear when you created it is now lost.
Project briefs become a project themselves
Starting a new project means writing a brief that explains the goals, scope, stakeholders, and timeline. You could explain it all in a five-minute conversation. But typing it out with proper structure and detail? That takes an hour. Project briefs get delayed, stakeholders stay uninformed, and alignment suffers because the documentation hurdle is too high.
Status updates get skipped or stay shallow
Friday rolls around. Your project needs a status update. You know what happened this week — the wins, the blockers, the risks. But summarizing it all in writing feels like homework. You either skip the update entirely or write two sentences that tell stakeholders nothing useful. The ritual meant to create visibility creates silence instead.
Team comments lack the context they need
A teammate asks a question on a task. You have a nuanced answer — there's context they need, a suggestion, and a caveat. Typing it all out takes five minutes, so you abbreviate. 'Check with Sarah.' Your teammate is still confused. The conversation that should have resolved in one comment now needs three follow-ups.
Subtask creation becomes a bottleneck
You need to break a large task into actionable subtasks. You know the five things that need to happen. But creating each subtask, typing the title, adding a description — it adds up. By the third subtask, you're tired of typing. The last two subtasks get vague names and no descriptions. Planning that should take two minutes takes ten and still ends up incomplete.

Real Scenarios
Writing detailed task descriptions that teammates can actually execute
You're assigning a task to a teammate. Instead of typing 'Fix the checkout bug,' hold the button and explain: 'The checkout flow fails when users have more than ten items in their cart. The error happens in the quantity validation step. Check the cart service logs from Tuesday around 2pm to see the stack trace. Expected behavior is that any cart size should process successfully.' Thirty seconds of talking creates a task description that saves hours of back-and-forth questions.
Creating comprehensive project briefs in minutes
You're kicking off a Q2 initiative. Open the project overview, hold the button, and talk through the brief like you would in a kickoff meeting: 'This project aims to reduce customer support tickets by twenty percent through improved self-service documentation. Key stakeholders are the support team, product, and engineering. We're targeting completion by end of April. Success metrics include ticket volume reduction and documentation page views.' A project brief that would take forty-five minutes to type is captured in five minutes of natural explanation.
Status updates that stakeholders actually read
It's Friday afternoon. Your project needs an update. Hold the button and talk through the week: 'This week we completed the database migration and started user testing. The main blocker is waiting on legal review for the new terms of service. Next week we're focused on incorporating user feedback and preparing for the beta launch. Overall we're on track for our April deadline.' Detailed status update in thirty seconds. Stakeholders get visibility. You move on with your weekend.
Team comments that resolve questions in one reply
Your teammate left a question on a task: 'How should we handle edge cases?' Instead of typing a terse response, hold the button and answer thoroughly: 'For edge cases, let's default to the conservative approach. If the user has incomplete data, show them a warning rather than blocking the action. We did this on the billing project last quarter and it reduced support tickets significantly. Check the billing migration task for the specific implementation pattern we used.' One comprehensive comment instead of five clarifying messages.
Breaking down tasks into actionable subtasks
You have a task called 'Launch email campaign' that needs to be broken into subtasks. For each subtask, click into the description field, hold the button, and speak: 'Write email copy focusing on the new feature announcement. Include three key benefits and a clear call to action. Reference the messaging doc in the marketing folder for tone guidelines.' Each subtask gets a real description in seconds. Your team can execute without guessing what you meant.
Adding context to tasks during standup
You're in your daily standup and mention a blocker. While talking to your team, quickly open the related task and dictate: 'Blocked on API credentials. Requested from DevOps on Tuesday, following up today.' The context is captured in Asana while you're still in the meeting. Your standup notes and task updates stay synchronized without extra work afterward.
Documenting decisions in project discussions
Your team just made a decision in a meeting. Open the project conversation, hold the button, and capture it: 'Team decided to delay the mobile release by two weeks to allow for additional QA testing. This was based on the regression issues found in yesterday's build. New target date is March 28. Engineering will update the timeline tasks.' The decision is documented with rationale while it's still fresh. No one has to remember to write it up later.
