Voice to Text for Google Meet Chat
Typing in Google Meet's in-meeting chat means missing what's being said. Blurt lets you speak your chat messages without looking away from the presentation. Hold a button, whisper your message, release. Text appears in the chat panel instantly. Perfect for sharing links, asking questions, dropping quick notes to participants, and capturing action items. Works in any Google Meet chat field.
The Typing Problem
Sharing links in chat disrupts your focus
Someone asks for a document link during the meeting. You need to find it, copy it, and paste it into the chat. By the time you navigate to the right tab, copy the URL, and switch back to Meet, you've missed two minutes of discussion. The person asking already moved on. You're playing catch-up for the rest of the call.
Typing questions makes you miss the answer context
The presenter says something unclear. You want to clarify in the chat without interrupting. But typing 'What did you mean by the Q3 adjustments?' takes 10 seconds. In those 10 seconds, they've already explained more context. Your question arrives late. Now you look like you weren't paying attention.
Quick notes to participants take too long
Your colleague is presenting to a client and about to quote the wrong price. You need to send them a private message fast. But typing 'Check the updated pricing doc before you share numbers' takes precious seconds. By the time you send it, they've already said the wrong figure. A quick voice message would have saved the moment.
Q&A sessions become chaotic without fast chat
The meeting opens for questions and everyone has something to ask. You're typing your question while others post theirs. Your typing speed determines whether you get heard. By the time you finish typing, five other questions appeared above yours. The host picks those instead. Your question gets buried because you type slower than others.
Meeting notes in chat never capture everything
You're dropping key points into the chat so everyone has a record. But your typing can't keep up with the conversation. You capture half a decision, miss the owner assigned, lose the deadline mentioned. The chat log becomes a fragmented mess instead of useful meeting documentation.
How It Works
Blurt works seamlessly with Google Meet's chat panel. In-meeting chat, Q&A, sharing links, all of it.
Hold your hotkey
Press your chosen shortcut while your cursor is in Google Meet's chat field. A small indicator shows Blurt is listening.
Speak your message
Say what you want to type. Whisper if you're unmuted. Speak URLs phonetically and Blurt handles the formatting.
Release and send
Text appears in the chat field instantly. Hit enter to send. Your eyes never left the presentation.
Real Scenarios
Sharing document links without tab-switching
Someone asks 'Can you share the project brief?' Instead of hunting through tabs, hold Blurt and say 'Here's the project brief link' followed by the URL you remember. Or simply say 'Dropping the link now, one second' while you find it. Either way, you're communicating without losing meeting context. The chat shows you're responsive even while multitasking.
Asking clarifying questions in real-time
The presenter mentions a metric you don't recognize. Hold Blurt and whisper 'Quick question: what's the baseline for that 15 percent improvement figure?' Your question appears in chat. The presenter can address it at a natural pause. You didn't interrupt, you didn't miss their next point, and your question is on record for everyone.
Private messages to colleagues during presentations
Your teammate is presenting to executives and you notice a slide has outdated numbers. Open a private chat to them, hold Blurt, and whisper 'Slide 7 numbers are from last month, skip that one.' They get the warning without anyone else seeing. You just saved them from an embarrassing correction.
Capturing action items as they're assigned
The meeting lead says 'Sarah will handle the vendor outreach by Friday.' You hold Blurt and speak 'Action item: Sarah, vendor outreach, due Friday.' It's in the chat immediately. When the meeting ends, everyone has a record of who owns what. No one needs to remember or check their notes.
Q&A responses when you're the presenter
You're presenting and questions are coming in via chat. Between slides, you hold Blurt and speak 'Great question about the timeline, will address in the next section.' Your acknowledgment appears instantly. The questioner knows they were heard. You stay focused on your presentation instead of typing responses.
Sharing meeting notes for latecomers
Someone joins 10 minutes late. Hold Blurt and say 'Quick recap: we covered the budget approval, decided on Option B for vendors, and are now discussing implementation timeline.' The latecomer catches up without anyone pausing the meeting to repeat themselves. You typed nothing but shared everything.
End-of-meeting summary and next steps
Meeting is wrapping up. Hold Blurt and speak 'Summary: approved the Q2 budget, John owns the vendor contract, next sync is Thursday at 2pm.' It's in the chat as the official record. No one needs to send a follow-up email. The documentation happened live.
