Voice to Text for Facebook
You want to share something on Facebook. A life update. A comment on your friend's post. A reply in your community group. But typing it all out feels like work. Blurt lets you compose Facebook content by speaking. Hold a button, say what you're thinking, release. Your words appear as text in any Facebook field. Status updates feel like talking to friends again. Comments flow naturally. Group posts get the detail they deserve. Page management becomes a conversation, not a chore.
The Typing Problem
Long posts feel like writing an essay
You have something meaningful to share. A story about your weekend. An announcement. A memory that deserves more than a sentence. But Facebook's text box stares at you, and suddenly typing three paragraphs feels like a term paper. You settle for a photo with a caption. Or worse, you don't post at all. The things worth saying stay unsaid because typing is exhausting.
Comments get rushed because typing takes too long
Someone shares exciting news. You want to say more than 'congrats!' You want to tell them how happy you are, share a related story, actually engage. But you're scrolling on your Mac, and typing a thoughtful comment means stopping everything. So you leave a like. Maybe a heart. The comment you wanted to write lives only in your head.
Messenger conversations lag behind your thoughts
You're catching up with an old friend on Messenger. The conversation is good. You have so much to say. But your typing can't keep up with your thinking. By the time you finish one message, you've forgotten the next three things you wanted to share. The conversation moves slower than it should. Connection suffers because your fingers can't match your enthusiasm.
Group posts need substance but get shortcuts
You're active in community groups. Buy/sell groups, hobby communities, neighborhood pages. Your posts need detail — descriptions, context, what you're looking for. But typing all that detail is tedious. So you post something minimal and hope people ask questions. Your posts underperform because you couldn't be bothered to type what you actually meant.
Managing a Facebook Page feels like a second job
You run a business page or community. Responding to comments, posting updates, engaging with followers — it all requires words. Lots of words. Every response is a typing session. By the end of the day, your hands hurt and your page engagement has still only scratched the surface. Page management becomes something you dread instead of something you do.
How It Works
Blurt works anywhere Facebook runs on your Mac — the website, Messenger, any Facebook interface with a text field.
Click into any Facebook text field
Put your cursor in the status update box, comment field, Messenger chat, group post, or page response. Anywhere you'd normally type on Facebook.
Hold your hotkey and speak naturally
Press your chosen keyboard shortcut and say what you want to post. Talk like you're speaking to a friend — Blurt handles punctuation and captures your natural voice.
Release and post
Your words appear as text instantly. Review if needed, then post. A status update that would take five minutes to type takes thirty seconds to speak.
Real Scenarios
Writing status updates that actually say something
You want to share what's happening in your life. Not just a photo — a real update with context and story. Cursor in the status box, hold your hotkey, and just talk. 'So we finally closed on the house yesterday. It's been such a journey — six months of searching, two failed offers, one nightmare inspection. But we're here. The kids are already fighting over bedrooms and I couldn't be happier.' A real update. Your voice. Thirty seconds instead of five minutes of typing.
Leaving comments that actually connect
Your college roommate just announced their engagement. You want to say something real, not just drop an emoji. Cursor in the comment field, hold your hotkey: 'I'm so happy for you both! I remember when you first told me about this person at coffee three years ago. You had that look. I knew then. Congratulations — you deserve this.' Posted before the moment passes. Connection maintained.
Messenger conversations that flow naturally
You're catching up with someone you haven't talked to in months. There's a lot to say. Hold your hotkey in the Messenger window: 'Okay so I have to tell you what happened at work last week. You know that project I was stressed about? The one I almost quit over? Well...' Your story unfolds naturally because you're talking, not typing. The conversation feels like a conversation again.
Group posts with the detail they need
You're selling something in a local buy/sell group. It needs a proper description. Hold your hotkey: 'Mid-century modern coffee table, solid walnut, excellent condition. Bought it at an estate sale in Portland five years ago. Minor wear on one leg but barely noticeable. Dimensions are 48 by 24 by 16 inches. Pickup only, I'm in the Sellwood neighborhood. Asking $200 but open to reasonable offers.' Complete listing. No cutting corners.
Responding to comments on your Page
You manage a business page and comments need responses. Personal ones, not canned replies. Cursor in the reply field, hold your hotkey: 'Thanks so much for this feedback! We actually changed that recipe last month based on similar suggestions. Next time you're in, ask for the updated version and let me know what you think.' Genuine engagement. Faster than typing. Your page feels human.
Event descriptions and group announcements
You're creating an event or posting an announcement to your group. It needs substance. Hold your hotkey and explain everything: 'Book club meets this Thursday at 7pm at Sarah's place. We're discussing the new Hanya Yanagihara — come prepared with thoughts on the first half. Bring a snack to share if you can. Street parking is easy. Text me if you need the door code.' All the details, spoken in fifteen seconds.
Birthday messages that mean something
It's someone's birthday and you actually want to say something meaningful. Not 'HBD!' Hold your hotkey on their timeline: 'Happy birthday! I was thinking about that trip we took to the coast five years ago — still one of my favorite weekends ever. Hope this year brings you more adventures like that. Let's catch up soon.' A message worth reading. Typed in ten seconds.
