The Typing Problem

Long prompts lose momentum when you type them

You have a complex question in your head. By the time you finish typing it out, you've lost half the context you wanted to include. The best ChatGPT results come from detailed prompts, but detailed prompts are tedious to type. Your fingers can't keep up with your brain.

Iterative conversations feel slow

ChatGPT conversations build on each other. You ask a question, get an answer, then need to follow up with clarifications or new angles. Each follow-up requires typing another message. Voice lets you respond as fast as you can think, keeping the conversation flowing naturally.

Code explanation requests are awkward to type

You want ChatGPT to explain a function, refactor some logic, or debug an error. Describing the problem in writing takes longer than the problem itself. Speaking lets you explain what's happening, what you expected, and what you need fixed in one natural flow.

Context switching kills productivity

You're reading code, documentation, or research. You want to ask ChatGPT a question without losing focus on what you're reading. Typing pulls you out of reading mode. Speaking keeps you in the flow while your question gets captured.

How It Works

Blurt sits in your menu bar and works with ChatGPT in any browser. Hold your hotkey, speak your prompt, release. Done.

Focus on the ChatGPT input

Click into the message box where you'd normally type your prompt.

Hold your hotkey and speak

Press your chosen key. Speak your complete prompt naturally, including all the context and details you want.

Release and send

Your spoken words appear as text in the input field. Hit enter to send, just like you typed it.

Real Scenarios

Long complex prompts that would take minutes to type

You need ChatGPT to analyze a business scenario with multiple variables. Instead of spending five minutes typing out all the context, you speak for 30 seconds. Everything you said appears as a well-structured prompt. More detail in less time means better answers from ChatGPT.

Rapid-fire follow-up questions

ChatGPT gave you an answer, but you need to drill deeper. 'Now explain how that would work with microservices.' 'What if the database is distributed?' 'Show me the error handling.' Each follow-up takes seconds instead of minutes. Your conversation stays in flow.

Code explanation and debugging requests

Something's broken and you need help. 'I have a function that takes an array of objects and should return the ones where the status field equals active, but it's returning an empty array even though I know there are active items in the input.' Spoken in 10 seconds. Typed? Much longer.

Research and learning sessions

You're using ChatGPT to learn a new topic. Questions come naturally as you read the responses. 'Can you explain that in simpler terms?' 'How does this relate to what we discussed earlier?' 'Give me a concrete example.' Voice keeps you in learning mode, not typing mode.

Writing prompts while reviewing output

You're reading ChatGPT's response and realize you need to ask for modifications. Your eyes stay on the text while you speak your next prompt. No need to look at the keyboard or think about typing. Your attention stays where it matters.

Late-night or quiet sessions with RSI concerns

You've been typing all day. Your wrists need a break. But you still want to work with ChatGPT. Speaking gives your hands rest while you keep working. No strain, no pain, full productivity.
