Voice to Text for Copywriters
Your best copy comes from how you'd actually say it. Blurt lets you capture that natural voice before your internal editor kills it. Hold a button, speak your headline or body copy, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Google Docs, Notion, your email client, anywhere. No more staring at blank pages. No more losing that perfect phrase you had in your head. Just talk like you're explaining to a friend, then polish what lands.
The Typing Problem
Iterating on ad copy until your eyes blur
The client wants 15 headline variations by end of day. You've written six and they all sound the same. Your fingers hover over the keyboard but nothing comes. You know the angle — you could pitch it verbally in seconds — but translating that to typed words feels like pushing through concrete. The deadline is in two hours and you're still staring at variation seven.
Landing page copy that needs to sound human
The brief says 'conversational but professional.' You've rewritten the hero section four times and it still reads like it was written by a committee. You know how you'd explain this product to a friend at a bar. But every time you type it out, corporate-speak creeps back in. The page sounds like every other SaaS landing page. Forgettable.
Email campaigns with authentic voice
The brand voice guide says 'warm and approachable.' But when you type, everything comes out stiff. You've got a 12-email nurture sequence to write and you're stuck on email three. You could talk through the whole sequence in 20 minutes, but typing it takes all day. By email eight, your voice is inconsistent because you're exhausted.
Brand voice documentation nobody wants to write
Leadership wants the brand voice captured in a document. You know exactly how the brand should sound — you've been writing it for months. But articulating the rules and examples in a 15-page guide? That's a different skill entirely. You keep putting it off because typing out 'what makes our voice our voice' is somehow harder than actually writing in that voice.
Your wrists ache from 8 hours of typing daily
You write thousands of words every day. Headlines, body copy, CTAs, social posts, email subject lines. By Wednesday afternoon your wrists are protesting. The ergonomic keyboard helped for a month. Now you're researching wrist braces and wondering how many more years you can do this job without permanent damage.

Real Scenarios
Generating headline variations without writer's block
You need 10 headline options for a Facebook ad campaign. Instead of typing and deleting, hold your hotkey and rapid-fire: 'Stop wasting money on ads that don't convert.' Release. Hold again. 'Your competitors are stealing your customers. Here's how to steal them back.' Release. Ten headlines in three minutes, not thirty. Your first drafts sound like actual speech — which is exactly how good headlines read.
Drafting landing page copy that sounds human
The hero section needs to explain the product in 50 words. You've typed five versions that all sound robotic. Try speaking instead: 'Look, most project management tools make simple things complicated. Ours doesn't. You'll actually enjoy opening it on Monday morning.' That's your copy. It took 8 seconds to say what 20 minutes of typing couldn't capture.
Writing email sequences with consistent voice
You're building a 7-email welcome sequence. By email four, your typed voice starts drifting. With Blurt, speak each email as if you're talking to one subscriber. 'Hey, quick tip from yesterday's email...' Your voice stays consistent because you're actually using your voice. The whole sequence drafted in an hour instead of a day.
Capturing brand voice examples on the fly
You're documenting the brand voice and need authentic examples. Instead of manufacturing them, use Blurt throughout your day. When you write something that nails the voice, dictate a quick note: 'Good example — this headline uses self-deprecating humor without undermining credibility. See how the second line reframes...' Capture insights as they happen.
Client feedback responses that don't sound defensive
The client sent revision requests and you need to respond professionally. When you type, it comes out terse or over-explanatory. Speak instead: 'Great feedback on the CTA section. I see what you mean about the urgency feeling forced. Let me try a softer approach that builds anticipation instead.' Professional, warm, and done in 10 seconds.
Social media captions in the brand's voice
You need 20 Instagram captions by tomorrow. Typing them out means constantly checking the brand voice guide. Speaking them means channeling the voice naturally. Hold button: 'We spent three months getting this hem exactly right. Obsessive? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.' That's the caption. Next one. Flow state unlocked.
Quick Slack replies between deep writing sessions
You're in the zone drafting website copy when a teammate pings about a subject line. Instead of typing a reply and losing your momentum, hold your hotkey: 'Try making the discount the first word — numbers grab attention in inbox previews.' Back to your flow in five seconds. Message sent without mental whiplash.
