Voice to Text for Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is where enterprise collaboration happens. But typing in meeting chats while presenting, replying across multiple channels, and keeping up with cross-org conversations takes your hands off your actual work. Blurt lets you speak your Teams messages instead of typing them. Hold a button, say what you need, release. Your message appears in the chat, channel, or meeting window. No context switching. No falling behind in conversations. Just talk and send.
The Typing Problem
Typing in meeting chat while presenting
You're sharing your screen and someone asks a question in the meeting chat. You can't type without everyone watching you fumble between windows. You ignore the question, promising to address it later. But later never comes. The question gets buried, the person feels ignored, and the meeting loses momentum.
Cross-org collaboration requires constant context switching
You're working with three external partners, each in different Teams channels. Every channel has its own conversation thread. By the time you type a reply in one channel, two more messages have appeared in others. You spend more time switching between channels and typing responses than doing the actual collaborative work.
The meeting chat moves faster than your fingers
During all-hands meetings or large presentations, the chat explodes with comments and questions. You have something relevant to add, but by the time you type it, the conversation has moved on. Your insight arrives three topics late. Eventually you stop trying to contribute in chat altogether.
HR and IT documentation requires endless typing
Policy updates, IT tickets, onboarding guides, compliance documentation. As an HR professional or IT administrator, your Teams channels are full of detailed written communication. Every ticket, every policy, every guide requires careful typing. Your wrists ache by lunch. By Thursday, you're dreading the next documentation request.
Channel notifications interrupt deep work
You're focused on a complex task when a channel notification pops up. It needs a quick response. You could ignore it, but it's from your manager. You switch to Teams, type a reply, and lose your train of thought. Thirty seconds of typing just cost you ten minutes of re-focusing. This happens twelve times a day.

Real Scenarios
Responding in meeting chat while presenting
You're sharing your quarterly results and someone asks in chat about Q3 numbers. Instead of awkwardly typing while everyone watches your screen, hold your hotkey and quietly say 'Q3 revenue was 2.3 million, up 15 percent from Q2. Full breakdown on slide 14.' Your response appears in chat without breaking your presentation flow. The question gets answered. You keep presenting. No one sees you fumble.
Managing multiple channel conversations
Three external partners, three channels, three simultaneous conversations. Instead of typing in each one, hold button, speak your response to Partner A, release. Switch channels, hold, respond to Partner B. In the time it would take to type one response, you've addressed all three. Cross-org collaboration stops feeling like a second job.
Quick acknowledgments during focused work
Your manager pings about the status of a project. You're deep in a spreadsheet. Hold button, say 'On track, will have the draft ready by 3pm. Quick question on the budget line, will ping you in an hour.' Release. Response sent in 4 seconds. Your spreadsheet focus remains intact. No mental context lost.
Contributing to fast-moving meeting chats
The all-hands meeting chat is flying by. You have a relevant insight about the new initiative. Hold button and speak: 'This aligns well with what we saw in the customer research last quarter. Happy to share those findings in the follow-up channel.' Your comment lands while it's still relevant. You actually participate instead of just watching.
IT ticket responses without repetitive typing
Another password reset request. You could type the same instructions for the hundredth time, or hold button and say 'To reset your password, go to portal dot company dot com slash password, click forgot password, and check your email for the reset link. If you don't receive it within 5 minutes, check your spam folder.' Spoken in 8 seconds. No typing fatigue. No template hunting.
HR policy updates and documentation
The new PTO policy needs to go to three different channels. Hold button, explain the policy once: 'The updated PTO policy takes effect January 15th. Key changes include rollover of up to 5 days and a new approval workflow for requests over 10 days. Full policy document in the HR wiki.' Copy, paste to each channel, done. One speaking session, three channels updated.
Cross-org collaboration with external partners
Your shared channel with the vendor needs a detailed update. Instead of typing out the status of five workstreams, hold button and talk through each one naturally: 'Integration testing complete, API documentation updated, security review scheduled for Thursday, UAT environment ready, and go-live timeline confirmed for March 1st.' Comprehensive update spoken in 20 seconds instead of typed in 3 minutes.
