Voice to Text for ClickUp
ClickUp brings everything together in one workspace. But typing detailed task descriptions, comprehensive docs, and thoughtful comments slows you down. Blurt lets you hold a button, speak naturally, and release. Your text appears instantly in any ClickUp field — tasks, docs, comments, goals, or whiteboards. No context switching, no copying from other apps. Just talk and your productivity platform stays current.
The Typing Problem
Task descriptions stay incomplete because typing takes forever
You create a task and know exactly what needs to happen. The requirements, context, and edge cases are all clear in your head. But typing everything out takes fifteen minutes. So you write a quick one-liner and move on. Later, you or your teammate opens the task and has no idea what it actually means. The clarity that existed when you created it has vanished.
Docs get started but never finished
ClickUp Docs should be your team's knowledge hub. You start writing a process doc or spec, but the typing becomes tedious. You could explain the whole thing in a five-minute conversation. Instead, the doc sits half-finished for weeks. Your team keeps asking questions that should have been answered in documentation.
Comments lack the context that prevents confusion
A teammate asks for clarification on a task. You have a detailed answer — there's background they need, a recommendation, and some caveats. But typing it all takes five minutes, so you abbreviate. 'Just use the old approach.' Now they're more confused. What old approach? The thread grows to ten messages when one thorough comment would have resolved it.
Goals descriptions remain vague and unmotivating
You're setting up quarterly goals in ClickUp. Each goal needs a clear description explaining the 'why' and the success criteria. But typing compelling goal descriptions for fifteen objectives takes an hour. You end up with generic goals like 'Improve customer satisfaction' with no context on what that actually means or how you'll measure success.
Whiteboard ideas get lost because text input is slow
You're brainstorming on a ClickUp Whiteboard. Ideas are flowing faster than you can type them. By the time you've finished typing one thought, three more have slipped away. The whiteboard that should capture your creative session ends up with fragments — bullet points that made sense in the moment but lack the context to be actionable later.

Real Scenarios
Writing detailed task descriptions that eliminate back-and-forth
You're creating a task for a teammate. Instead of typing 'Update the pricing page,' hold the button and explain: 'Update the pricing page to reflect the new enterprise tier. Add a comparison table showing features across all three plans. Use the copy from the product brief in the Marketing folder. Make sure the CTA buttons are consistent with our design system.' Thirty seconds of talking creates a task description that prevents hours of clarifying questions.
Creating comprehensive docs in minutes instead of hours
You need to document your team's deployment process. Open a new ClickUp Doc, hold the button, and talk through it: 'First, create a release branch from main. Run the test suite locally to catch any issues before pushing. Create a pull request and wait for CI to pass. Once approved, merge to main and the deployment pipeline triggers automatically. Monitor the staging environment for fifteen minutes before promoting to production.' A doc that would take an hour to type is captured in five minutes of natural explanation.
Comments that resolve questions in one reply
Your teammate left a question on a task: 'What's the scope of this integration?' Instead of typing a brief response, hold the button and answer completely: 'The scope is limited to read-only access to the customer database. We're pulling name, email, and subscription status. No write operations. The API credentials are in the secrets manager under the Integration folder. Check the architecture doc I created last month for the data flow diagram.' One comprehensive comment instead of a five-message thread.
Setting inspiring goals with clear success criteria
You're defining Q1 objectives. For each goal, click into the description field and speak: 'Reduce customer churn by twenty percent by improving onboarding experience. Success criteria include completion rate above eighty percent for the onboarding checklist, time to first value under forty-eight hours, and NPS score of fifty or higher from new users in their first week.' Goals that motivate your team because they understand exactly what success looks like.
Capturing whiteboard brainstorms at the speed of thought
You're running a brainstorming session on a ClickUp Whiteboard. Ideas are flowing. Click to add a text box, hold the button, and capture: 'What if we offered a self-service onboarding path for smaller customers? This could reduce support load and let them get started immediately. We'd need to build a template library and automated provisioning.' Each idea gets full context while it's fresh. Your whiteboard becomes a genuine record of the creative session.
Adding context to tasks during daily standups
You're in your team's standup and mention an update. While talking to your team, quickly open the task and dictate: 'Waiting on design review from Sarah. Expected by end of day. Will start implementation tomorrow morning.' The context is captured in ClickUp while you're still in the meeting. Your standup discussion and task updates stay synchronized without extra work afterward.
Documenting decisions in task comments
Your team just made a decision in a Slack thread. Open the related task in ClickUp, hold the button, and capture it: 'Team decided to use PostgreSQL instead of MongoDB based on the query patterns we identified. Main factors were transaction support and the team's existing expertise. This adds two days to the timeline but reduces long-term maintenance risk.' The decision is documented with rationale in the right place, not buried in chat history.
