Voice to Text for Chrome
Chrome is where you spend most of your day — Gmail, Google Docs, web apps, forms, search. Every one of those requires typing. Blurt turns your voice into text anywhere you can place a cursor in Chrome. Hold a button, speak naturally, release. Your words appear instantly in any input field, text area, or content-editable element. No browser extension needed. No configuration. Just talk and the text appears.
The Typing Problem
Web forms drain your energy
You're filling out yet another form — shipping address, customer intake, job application, support ticket. Each field requires clicking, typing, tabbing, typing again. Your hands ache by the tenth form of the day. The repetitive nature of form filling makes you dread tasks that should take minutes but feel like hours.
Gmail replies pile up faster than you can type
Your inbox has 23 emails needing responses. Each one requires careful thought and then the slow process of typing it out. You could clear your inbox in 20 minutes if you could just talk your responses, but typing makes it a two-hour ordeal. Important messages get delayed because the physical act of responding is exhausting.
Web-based tools demand constant input
Your company uses web apps for everything — project management, CRM, documentation, support tickets. Every task requires typing into Chrome. You're constantly switching between thinking about what to write and the mechanics of typing it. The browser has become a bottleneck for your productivity.
Search queries take longer than finding the answer
You know exactly what you're looking for but translating that into typed search terms takes effort. Long-tail searches that would find exactly what you need feel like too much work. You settle for shorter, less precise queries and spend more time scrolling through irrelevant results.
Content creation in web editors is slow
You're drafting a blog post in WordPress, updating documentation in Notion web, or writing a report in Google Docs. The words flow freely in your head but your fingers can't keep up. By the time you've typed three sentences, you've forgotten the next five you wanted to write. Web-based writing tools work against your natural creative flow.
How It Works
Blurt works in any text field across any website you visit in Chrome. Gmail compose boxes, Google search, Airtable cells, Zendesk tickets — anywhere you can type, you can speak.
Click where you want to type
Put your cursor in any text field, input box, or content area on any website. Blurt works with standard inputs, text areas, and rich text editors.
Hold your hotkey and speak
Press your chosen shortcut. A small indicator appears. Speak naturally — Blurt handles punctuation, capitalization, and formatting automatically.
Release and your text appears
Text is inserted at your cursor position in under 500 milliseconds. Continue typing, submit the form, or send the email. No extra steps.
Real Scenarios
Clearing your Gmail inbox before lunch
You have 15 emails requiring substantive responses. Instead of typing each one, you open the first email, hit reply, hold your hotkey, and speak your response naturally. Release, review, send. Move to the next. Fifteen thoughtful email responses completed in 12 minutes instead of an hour. You're done before the meeting you were dreading.
Filling out a multi-page application form
The vendor onboarding form has 47 fields across 5 pages. Company name, address, tax ID, contact info, descriptions of services, references. With Blurt, you click each field and dictate. The form that usually takes 25 minutes of typing takes 8 minutes of speaking. You fill out forms without your wrists paying the price.
Updating tickets in your web-based help desk
Customer support tickets need detailed responses. You're in Zendesk, Intercom, or Freshdesk — all web apps in Chrome. Click the reply field, hold the button, speak your detailed explanation with troubleshooting steps. The customer gets a thorough response. You get to help more people without typing yourself into exhaustion.
Quick data entry into web spreadsheets
You're adding notes to Google Sheets or Airtable. Each cell needs context from the meeting you just finished. Click cell, dictate note, tab to next cell, dictate next note. What would be tedious typing becomes rapid-fire data entry. Your meeting notes are captured while they're still fresh.
Complex search queries that actually find what you need
You need to find that specific error message from the documentation. Instead of typing a simplified query, you hold the button and say the exact error text plus the context you remember. Long, precise search queries become effortless. You find what you need on the first search instead of the fifth.
Writing content in browser-based editors
Your company wiki runs on Confluence. Your blog is on WordPress. Your documentation lives in GitBook. All accessed through Chrome. You click into the editor, hold your hotkey, and just talk. Three paragraphs flow out in 30 seconds. Web-based writing finally moves at the speed of your thoughts.
Rapid feedback in collaborative web tools
You're reviewing a design in Figma's browser version or leaving comments in a shared Google Doc. Each piece of feedback requires typing. With Blurt, you click the comment field, speak your feedback naturally, and move on. You provide more detailed, more helpful feedback because the friction is gone.
