Voice to Text for CEOs
Your time is your scarcest resource, yet you spend hours every week typing emails, memos, and updates that you could say in minutes. Blurt lets you capture your thoughts at the speed you think them. Hold a button, speak your investor update or board memo, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Gmail, Notion, Slack, anywhere. No assistant scheduling. No dictation delays. Just speak and send.
The Typing Problem
Investor updates that take an entire afternoon
Your investors need monthly updates, but every time you sit down to write one, it takes three hours. You know what you want to say — the wins, the challenges, the asks — but translating your thoughts into polished prose is exhausting. So you delay. And delay. Until the update becomes overdue and the pressure mounts.
Board communications that require perfect tone
Every message to your board carries weight. You draft, revise, second-guess, and revise again. What should take 15 minutes takes an hour because you're wordsmithing while trying to run a company. The stakes feel too high to just type and send, so you agonize over every paragraph.
Company-wide announcements that never feel right
You need to announce a reorg, a new initiative, or an honest assessment of where things stand. Your thoughts are clear when you explain it verbally to your exec team. But when you sit down to write it out, the clarity vanishes. The draft sounds corporate and hollow. You rewrite it four times and it still doesn't sound like you.
Strategic planning documents that stall at the first page
Your head is full of vision — where the company should go, what you need to do to get there. But capturing it in a strategy doc feels like translating a 3D movie into a coloring book. You could explain your strategy in a 20-minute conversation. Writing it takes days you don't have.
Thought leadership content you never have time to write
You know you should be writing more — LinkedIn posts, blog articles, perspectives on your industry. You have plenty of opinions. But after a day of decisions, the last thing you want is more typing. So your thought leadership stays trapped in your head while competitors publish weekly.

Real Scenarios
Drafting monthly investor updates in minutes
It's the end of the month and your investors are waiting. Instead of staring at a blank email, hold your hotkey and talk through the highlights: 'This month we closed our Series B at 40 million. Revenue grew 15 percent month-over-month. Our biggest challenge is scaling the sales team fast enough to meet demand. Next month we're focused on three key hires.' Three paragraphs spoken in 90 seconds. Edit lightly and send. Done before your coffee gets cold.
Composing board communications with the right tone
You need to brief the board on a strategic pivot. Hold the button and explain it like you would in person: 'We're shifting focus from enterprise to mid-market. Here's why — our enterprise deals are taking 9 months to close and our mid-market deals close in 6 weeks with 80 percent of the revenue. The math is clear.' Your natural voice comes through. No corporate stiffness. Just honest communication that sounds like you.
Writing company-wide announcements that land
A key executive is leaving. You need to announce it today. Instead of crafting sterile corporate language, speak candidly: 'I want to share that Sarah is leaving us to pursue a new opportunity. She built our engineering culture from scratch and we wouldn't be here without her. I'm personally grateful for everything she's done.' Authentic, warm, and written in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes of agonized drafting.
Capturing strategic vision while it's fresh
You just had an insight about where the company needs to go. Before it slips away, hold your hotkey: 'Our real competitive advantage isn't our product features — it's our implementation speed. We need to lean into this. Every marketing message should lead with time-to-value. Sales should be closing on deployment timelines, not feature lists.' Strategic thinking captured instantly. No more lost insights.
Quick responses to your exec team
Your COO needs a decision on the new office lease. You're between meetings. Hold and say: 'Let's go with the smaller space but lock in the expansion option. I'd rather have flexibility than commitment right now given the market uncertainty. Get legal to review the break clause.' Decision communicated in 10 seconds. No typing, no delay.
Publishing thought leadership without the time sink
You have a strong opinion about where your industry is heading. Instead of scheduling writing time you'll never protect, speak your post: 'Most AI startups are building features that will be commoditized in 18 months. The real moat is data — specifically, proprietary data that improves with usage. If your AI doesn't get smarter from customer behavior, you're building a demo, not a business.' LinkedIn post drafted in one breath. Edit for two minutes and publish.
Preparing for board meetings on the move
You're in a car heading to a board meeting and realize you need to prep your opening remarks. Hold your phone, speak your key points: 'Three things I want to cover today — our path to profitability which is now 14 months instead of 18, the competitive threat from the new entrant and how we're responding, and the exec team gap we need to fill in Q2.' Notes ready before you arrive. No typing on a bumpy ride.
