Voice to Text for Ghost
Ghost gives you complete control over your publishing. But the blank editor still stares back, waiting for you to fill it. Blurt lets you hold a button, speak your ideas, and release. Your text appears instantly in any Ghost post, page, newsletter, or member email. No copying, no pasting, no friction between thought and publication. Just talk through your content and watch it materialize.
The Typing Problem
The Ghost editor waits while your ideas fade
You have the perfect blog post in your head. The structure is clear, the examples are ready. You open Ghost, click New Post, and the cursor blinks. The thoughts that felt so vivid during your morning walk start to evaporate. Typing is slow enough that your critical brain catches every word, questions every phrase. The energy drains. The post joins your drafts folder.
Newsletter deadlines create typing marathons
Your subscribers expect consistent delivery. Every Thursday, every Sunday, whatever schedule you promised. But writing a full newsletter takes hours of typing. You fall behind, skip a week, apologize in the next edition. The rhythm breaks. Your audience notices. Building a newsletter habit is hard when the writing itself is the bottleneck.
Page content never gets updated
Your About page is two years old. Your product descriptions need refreshing. You have new features to document, new testimonials to add. But updating pages means sitting down to type, and you always have more urgent tasks. The static pages grow stale while your business evolves. Visitors read outdated information because writing updates feels like a chore.
Member emails become an afterthought
You promised exclusive content to paying members. Personal updates, behind-the-scenes insights, early access announcements. But crafting those emails takes time you do not have. Your members pay for access they rarely receive. The guilt compounds. Typing personalized member content feels like a luxury your schedule cannot afford.
Long-form posts take weeks instead of days
You want to write pillar content. Comprehensive guides, in-depth tutorials, thought leadership pieces. The outline is ready, the research is done. But a 3,000-word post means many hours at the keyboard. You start with enthusiasm, hit a wall midway, abandon the draft for days. Your best content ideas never make it to publish.
How It Works
Blurt works everywhere in Ghost: the post editor, page builder, newsletter composer, and member email drafts. Anywhere you can type in Ghost, you can talk.

Press your chosen key, speak naturally. Blurt adds punctuation and capitalization automatically.
Release and keep writing
Your text appears at the cursor. Format with Ghost's editor, add images, or keep dictating the next section.
Real Scenarios
Drafting a complete blog post in one session
You have been thinking about this post all week. The angle is clear, the examples are ready. Instead of a three-hour typing session, you open Ghost and hold the button. Talk through your introduction, your main argument, each supporting point, your conclusion. Twenty minutes of speaking produces 2,000 words. The draft exists. Now you can edit, add images, and polish. The hardest part is done.
Writing weekly newsletters on schedule
Thursday is newsletter day. You have your topic, but the clock is ticking. Hold the button and talk through this week's update like you are catching up with a friend. Share what you have been working on, what you learned, what is coming next. Fifteen minutes of dictation, thirty minutes of editing. Your newsletter goes out on time, every time. Consistency becomes achievable.
Updating page content without dreading it
Your services page needs a refresh. New offerings, updated pricing, better descriptions. Instead of an hour of painful typing, you hold the button and describe your services like you would to a potential client. The words flow naturally because you explain these things verbally every day. The page update that sat on your todo list for months happens in an afternoon.
Creating exclusive member content regularly
Your paying members deserve attention. Hold the button and record a personal update just for them. Share your behind-the-scenes thinking, upcoming plans, lessons learned. The conversational tone that typing strips away comes through naturally when you speak. Your members get the intimate access they pay for, and creating it takes minutes instead of hours.
Breaking through writer's block mid-draft
You are stuck on paragraph four. The intro is done, the conclusion is clear in your head, but the middle will not come. Stop typing. Hold the button. Talk through what you are trying to say, even if it sounds messy. The words come out. They need editing, but they exist. The block is broken. Speaking bypasses the paralysis that typing creates.
Capturing ideas during walks and commutes
You do your best thinking away from the keyboard. Ideas connect while you walk, arguments clarify during your commute. With your laptop and Blurt, you can capture sections of your next post while the thoughts are fresh. The physical movement and verbal output work together. Come home with a thousand words already drafted.
Writing documentation and tutorial content
Your product needs documentation. Setup guides, feature explanations, troubleshooting articles. You know this content inside out because you built the product. Hold the button and explain each feature like you are walking a new user through it. The tutorial practically writes itself because teaching verbally is what you do in support calls anyway.
