Voice to Text for Consultants
Your expertise is in solving problems, not typing documents. Blurt lets you capture insights the moment they occur and transform your thinking into client-ready deliverables at the speed of speech. Hold a button, articulate your recommendations, release. Text appears wherever you need it — in PowerPoint, Word, email, or your client's collaboration tools. No transcription delays. No lost insights. Just speak your expertise and watch it become polished prose.
The Typing Problem
Client deliverables pile up faster than you can type them
You just wrapped a discovery session with three hours of insights in your head. Now you're facing a blank PowerPoint and a deadline tomorrow morning. You could explain everything in 20 minutes out loud, but typing it takes three hours. By slide 15, your sharpest insights have dulled. The deliverable captures half of what you actually learned.
Proposal writing eats billable hours you can't recover
Every proposal is a gamble — hours of unpaid work hoping to win the engagement. You know exactly what to say to win this client, but typing a 15-page proposal takes an entire day. So you reuse old templates and hope they don't notice. The proposals that could differentiate you never get written because you can't afford the time.
Brilliant insights vanish between the meeting and the document
During the client session, you had a breakthrough — the connection between their supply chain issues and their customer complaints. You could see the whole solution. But by the time you opened Word to capture it, three Slack messages and two emails had pushed that clarity out of your working memory. The insight is gone. You write something adequate instead of exceptional.
Documentation time isn't billable, but it's mandatory
You bill for strategy, not for typing status reports. But clients expect weekly updates, engagement summaries, and recommendation documents. Every hour spent typing is an hour not spent on high-value work — or an hour of your personal time. You're choosing between thorough documentation and sustainable hours.
Airport lounges and hotel rooms become your second office
You're on your third flight this week, laptop balanced on a tiny tray table. There's a client deliverable due tomorrow and you have two hours of turbulent air ahead. Typing on a cramped laptop keyboard while exhausted from travel is miserable. Your best thinking happens when you're talking through problems, not pecking at keys in economy class.

Real Scenarios
Capturing insights immediately after client meetings
You just walked out of a two-hour strategy session. Everything is fresh — the CEO's real concerns, the political dynamics, the unstated constraints. Instead of racing to your laptop, you pull out your phone and voice-capture the key insights: 'Primary blocker is middle management resistance, not budget. CFO is aligned but needs air cover from the board. Quick win opportunity in the procurement process.' Ten minutes of speaking captures what would take an hour to type. Nothing is lost.
Drafting proposals while your pitch is fresh
You just finished a promising prospect call. You know exactly how to position this engagement. Instead of letting that clarity fade while you context-switch to writing mode, hold your hotkey and speak the executive summary: 'We propose a 12-week engagement focused on operational efficiency, targeting $2.4M in annual savings through three workstreams.' The proposal practically writes itself when you capture your thinking in the moment.
Writing engagement summaries that clients actually read
The project is wrapping up and you need to document outcomes. Talk through each workstream naturally: 'The supply chain optimization delivered 18% cost reduction against a 15% target. Key enabler was the inventory forecasting model we built with their data science team.' Comprehensive summaries in 20 minutes instead of two hours. Clients get the documentation they need without consuming your entire Friday.
Creating recommendation documents with nuance
Your recommendations need context that bullet points can't convey. Speak the full reasoning: 'We recommend Option B despite the higher upfront cost because it addresses the root cause rather than the symptom. Option A would require revisiting this issue in 18 months when their system migration completes.' The nuance that makes your advice valuable gets captured, not compressed.
Weekly status reports that write themselves
Friday afternoon, status report due. Instead of dreading the typing, talk through each workstream: 'Workstream one is on track, completed stakeholder interviews this week. Workstream two has a risk — the data migration is delayed by two weeks, mitigation plan in progress.' Fifteen minutes of speaking produces a thorough update. Clients stay informed, your weekend starts on time.
Stakeholder updates between meetings
Your client sponsor needs to brief their leadership but doesn't have time for a call. Voice-dictate a comprehensive update they can forward: 'Three key developments this week. First, the pilot results exceeded targets by 22%. Second, we've identified an expansion opportunity in the European division. Third, we need a decision on the technology vendor by next Tuesday.' Executive-ready communication in two minutes.
Documenting methodology for your practice
You've developed an approach that works, but it only exists in your head. Between client calls, capture your methodology: 'Phase one is always stakeholder mapping. I use a 2x2 matrix of influence versus interest. High-influence, high-interest stakeholders get weekly touchpoints.' Your intellectual property gets documented. Junior consultants can learn your approach. Your expertise scales beyond your personal billable hours.
