Voice to Text for Content Creators
Your best content ideas come when you're talking, not typing. Blurt lets you speak your video scripts, social captions, and community replies while your creativity flows uninterrupted. Hold a button, say what you're thinking, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in your script doc, YouTube Studio, Instagram, Discord, anywhere. No app switching. No losing your train of thought. Just talk and create.
The Typing Problem
Your best video script ideas vanish while typing
You're on a roll, ideas flowing perfectly for your next video. But the moment you start typing, the magic disappears. Your fingers can't keep up with your brain. By the time you've typed two sentences, you've forgotten the perfect way you were going to phrase that hook. The energy that made the idea great is gone, replaced by stiff, written-sounding copy.
Social captions take longer than filming
You spent 20 minutes shooting a great clip. Now you're staring at the caption field for 30 minutes, trying to write something that sounds like you. Every attempt feels too formal or too try-hard. You know exactly what you'd say if someone asked you about the post — but typing it out feels completely different. The caption ends up being 'Link in bio' again.
Community comments pile up unanswered
Your Discord is blowing up. YouTube comments need responses. DMs are stacking. You want to engage — that's what builds a loyal audience — but typing thoughtful replies to 50 people takes two hours you don't have. So you ignore most of them, feeling guilty, watching engagement slip because you can't keep up with the typing.
Sponsor emails drain your creative energy
A brand wants to collaborate, and you need to send a professional pitch or negotiate terms. But switching from creative mode to business writing mode is exhausting. You stare at the email draft, rewriting the same sentence five times. An email that should take 10 minutes becomes an hour-long ordeal that leaves you too drained to film.
Your wrists ache from editing and typing all day
Between editing footage, writing scripts, responding to comments, and managing your business, you're typing thousands of words daily. Your wrists hurt by evening. You've tried ergonomic keyboards and wrist braces, but you're still grinding through the same volume of text. You're 25 and already worried about repetitive strain injury ending your career.

Real Scenarios
Writing video scripts that sound like you
You're planning your next YouTube video and the ideas are flowing. Instead of typing and losing the energy, hold your hotkey and just talk through your intro: 'Hey guys, so I tried this thing for 30 days and honestly it completely changed how I think about productivity. Let me show you what happened.' That's your script. It sounds like you because it is you, speaking naturally. No stiff, written-sounding copy.
Crafting social captions in seconds
Your TikTok is ready to post but the caption field is blank. Hold the button and speak: 'POV you finally figured out the algorithm and now you can't stop. Drop a comment if this is you.' Done in 5 seconds. It sounds natural because you said it naturally. No more staring at the screen trying to sound casual while typing.
Responding to YouTube comments at scale
You have 40 comments to respond to and an hour before your next shoot. Hold your hotkey for each reply: 'Thanks so much for watching! I'm actually planning a follow-up video on this exact topic, should be out next week.' Personalized responses in seconds instead of minutes. Your audience feels heard. Your fingers get a break.
Engaging your Discord community
Your Discord is active and members are asking questions, sharing wins, requesting content ideas. Instead of typing responses, talk them out: 'That's such a good idea, I'm adding it to my content list right now. Would love to see how you'd approach this too.' Community management becomes conversational, not exhausting.
Drafting sponsor emails without the mental drain
A brand reached out and you need to send your rates and ideas. Hold the button and speak like you're talking to a friend: 'Hey, thanks for reaching out! I'd love to work together. For a dedicated video, my rate is X and that includes two rounds of revisions. Let me know if you want to hop on a call to discuss.' Professional email done in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.
Brainstorming content ideas on the fly
You're on a walk and three video ideas hit you at once. Pull out your laptop, open your ideas doc, and speak them before they vanish: 'Video idea: what I wish I knew before hitting 100K. Another one: ranking every camera I've owned. And maybe a day-in-the-life during a brand trip.' Ideas captured in their raw, excited form.
Writing newsletter content that connects
Your weekly newsletter needs to feel personal, not corporate. Talk it out like you're writing to a friend: 'This week was wild. I almost deleted a video that ended up being my best performer. Here's what I learned about trusting the process.' Your newsletter sounds like you because you spoke it, not typed it.
