Voice to Text for Content Marketers
Your brain moves faster than your fingers ever could. Ideas for blog posts, social captions, and email hooks come to you in seconds, but typing them out takes forever. Blurt lets you capture content at the speed of thought. Hold a button, speak your draft, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Google Docs, WordPress, Buffer, your email client, anywhere. No more staring at blank pages. No more losing brilliant ideas while your fingers catch up. Just talk and create.
The Typing Problem
Writing blog posts daily when the words won't come
You need to publish daily to keep the content calendar full. But by post three of the week, your fingers are tired and your brain feels empty. You know what you want to say — you could explain it perfectly to a colleague — but translating thoughts to typed words feels like pushing a boulder uphill. The blank page mocks you. Another deadline approaches.
Creating social media content across multiple platforms
LinkedIn wants thought leadership. Twitter needs punchy hooks. Instagram requires personality. You're writing the same message six different ways, every single day. By the time you've typed the third variation, you've forgotten the angle that made the first one work. Your thumbs ache from mobile typing during commutes. The content never stops.
Email newsletters that take hours to draft
Weekly newsletters are supposed to build audience relationships. Instead, they've become your Thursday nightmare. You sit down at 2pm thinking it'll take an hour. By 5pm, you're still wrestling with the opening paragraph. The words that flowed so easily in your head turn stilted the moment you start typing. Your subscribers deserve better. So do your evenings.
Content briefs that never capture what's in your head
You need to explain the strategy to writers, but typing detailed briefs takes longer than writing the content yourself. So you cut corners. Send vague instructions. Get back drafts that miss the mark completely. Then spend more time revising than you saved by delegating. The brief was supposed to be ten minutes. It ate your morning.
Your hands hurt and you're only halfway through the day
Content marketing means typing. All day. Every day. Blog posts, emails, social updates, Slack messages to the team, client reports. By Wednesday your wrists are sore. By Friday you're worried about long-term damage. You're 32 and already googling 'carpal tunnel symptoms.' This isn't sustainable, but the content demands never let up.

Real Scenarios
First-drafting blog posts at the speed of thought
You know the topic inside out. Instead of struggling to type, hold your hotkey and talk through the post like you're explaining it to a friend. 'The biggest mistake marketers make with email subject lines is trying to be clever instead of clear. Your subscribers are scanning their inbox at 7am with coffee in hand. They don't want puzzles. They want to know if this email is worth their time.' A 300-word first draft spoken in 90 seconds. Edit from there.
Creating social media variations in minutes
You've got one core message. Now you need it for LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Hold the button and riff: 'LinkedIn version: Here's what I learned about content strategy after publishing 500 blog posts this year.' Release. 'Twitter version: 500 blog posts taught me one thing: consistency beats perfection every single time.' Four platforms done in two minutes instead of twenty.
Writing email newsletters conversationally
The best newsletters sound like they're written by a human, not a marketing department. Hold your hotkey and actually be human: 'Hey, quick story from this week. I tried a new headline formula and it completely flopped. Open rates dropped 40 percent. Here's what I learned and what I'm doing differently next time.' Your authentic voice captured instantly. Edit for polish, not for personality.
Dictating comprehensive content briefs
Your freelance writer needs context. Hold the button and brain dump: 'This piece is for small business owners who've never run paid ads. The angle is that you don't need a big budget to see results. Include a case study from our client Sarah who started with fifty dollars. Avoid jargon. Make it actionable with specific steps they can take today.' Ten minutes of typing compressed into 45 seconds of talking.
Capturing ideas before they disappear
You're on a walk when the perfect hook hits you. Pull out your laptop (or use your phone as a hotspot), open Notes, hold your hotkey: 'Blog post idea: Why the best marketing strategies are stolen, not invented. Frame it around how Spotify copied Apple's playlist approach but made it better. Use this for the Q1 content calendar.' Idea captured before it vanishes into the ether.
Responding to comments and engagement
Your LinkedIn post is blowing up. Fifty comments need thoughtful responses. Instead of typing each reply, hold and talk: 'Thanks for sharing this, Michael. You're right that consistency matters, but I'd add that it's consistent quality that makes the difference. Posting daily doesn't help if every post feels rushed.' Authentic engagement at scale without hand fatigue.
Writing client reports and updates
Monthly reports require explaining metrics in plain language. Hold your hotkey and translate the data: 'This month we saw a 23 percent increase in organic traffic, primarily driven by the three pillar posts we published in week two. The email sequence is converting at 4.2 percent, which is above industry average. Recommendation for next month is to double down on the SEO strategy that's working.' Client update done in one take.
