The Typing Problem

Beautiful documents take ugly amounts of time to write

Craft makes your documents look stunning. The typography is perfect, the spacing is intentional, the exports are gorgeous. But all that beauty sits empty while you stare at a blinking cursor. The ideas are in your head. Getting them out through your fingers takes ten times longer than thinking them. Your Craft workspace stays sparse because the writing takes too long.

Daily notes become weekly notes because typing is slow

You love the idea of daily notes. Capture thoughts, track progress, build a record of your work. But opening Craft each morning and typing out your intentions, reflections, and plans takes twenty minutes you don't have. So daily notes become every-few-days notes, then weekly summaries, then nothing. The habit dies at the keyboard.

Project documentation lives in your head instead of Craft

Your projects need documentation. Context for decisions. Rationale for choices. Status updates for stakeholders. You know exactly what needs to be written. But typing it out means blocking an hour on your calendar. So the documentation stays in your brain, inaccessible to teammates, forgotten within weeks.

Nested pages stay shallow because expanding them takes effort

Craft's nested pages are perfect for organizing complex information. A project page with subpages for research, decisions, and updates. But each subpage needs content. Creating the structure takes minutes. Filling it with substance takes hours. Your beautiful hierarchies end up as empty shells.

Export-worthy content never gets written

Craft exports are gorgeous. PDFs that look professionally designed. Markdown that translates perfectly. But export-worthy content requires export-worthy writing. And that kind of polished, complete documentation feels like a project unto itself. Your exports remain theoretical because the writing never happens.

How It Works

Blurt works everywhere in Craft: documents, daily notes, nested pages, and blocks. Anywhere you can type, you can talk.

1

Click into any Craft block

Put your cursor in a document, daily note, nested page, or any text block.

Press your chosen key, speak naturally. Blurt adds punctuation automatically.

3

Release and keep creating

Your text appears at the cursor. Move to the next block, next page, next thought.

Real Scenarios

Building project documentation while context is fresh

You just wrapped a major project milestone. The decisions, trade-offs, and rationale are vivid in your mind. Open the project page in Craft, hold the button, and explain it like you're briefing a new team member: 'We chose the modular architecture because the monolith was hitting scaling limits. The trade-off was increased complexity in deployment, which we addressed with the new CI pipeline.' Documentation that would take an hour is drafted in ten minutes.

Filling nested pages with real content

Your project has a research subpage that's been empty for weeks. You have the research. It's in your head, in browser tabs, in scattered notes. Click into the nested page, hold the button, and talk through what you found: 'User interviews revealed three main pain points. First, onboarding is confusing. Second, the pricing page doesn't explain the value. Third, support response time is too slow.' The subpage has substance now.

Capturing meeting notes without leaving the conversation

You're in a video call and want to capture key points in your Craft meeting notes. During natural pauses, hold the button and quietly dictate: 'Sarah confirmed the March timeline. Engineering needs the specs by end of week. Budget approved for the additional contractor.' Your notes build throughout the meeting without pulling you out of the conversation.

Writing content worth exporting

A stakeholder needs a project summary PDF. Normally this means an hour of writing. With Blurt, you open a new document and talk through the update: 'Project launched successfully last Thursday. User adoption exceeded targets by forty percent. Two minor issues identified and resolved within twenty-four hours.' Export-ready content in minutes instead of hours.

Drafting long-form documents by thinking aloud

You're writing a proposal, a strategy document, or a detailed plan. The outline is clear in your head. Instead of typing paragraph by paragraph, hold the button and talk through each section. Your thinking speed becomes your writing speed. A document that would take two hours to type is drafted in forty minutes of talking.

Rapid ideation in a fresh Craft page

New project, blank page. Ideas are swirling but typing them out feels tedious. Hold the button and brain-dump: 'What if we approached this from the user's perspective instead of the technical requirements. The core insight is that people don't want features, they want outcomes. We should frame the entire proposal around the three outcomes we deliver.' Capture the spark before it fades.
