Voice to Text for Monday.com
Monday.com keeps your workflows running. But typing detailed item updates, filling out column text, writing status updates, and documenting automations slows everything down. Blurt lets you hold a button, speak naturally, and release. Your text appears instantly in any Monday.com field — item updates, text columns, long text fields, status updates, or automation descriptions. No context switching, no copying from other apps. Just talk and your work management stays current.
The Typing Problem
Item updates stay sparse because typing interrupts your flow
You finish a task and need to log the update. The context is fresh in your mind — what you did, what blockers you hit, what the next person needs to know. But typing it all out takes five minutes. So you write 'Done' and move on. Two days later, your manager asks what happened. The details that were clear when you finished are now fuzzy. The update history that should tell the story is empty.
Text columns end up half-filled or ignored
Your board has text columns for notes, requirements, and descriptions. Each item should have this context filled in. But clicking into a text column and typing feels tedious, especially when you have twenty items to update. Columns that should contain useful information stay blank. Your board looks complete from the status colors, but the actual detail is missing.
Status updates become checkbox exercises
Monday morning arrives. Your team lead wants status updates on key projects. You could explain where things stand, the risks, the wins, the blockers. But summarizing all that in writing takes longer than the actual work sometimes. You change the status color, maybe add a one-liner, and call it done. The status update that should create visibility creates confusion instead.
Automation descriptions stay cryptic
You build an automation to save your team time. When a status changes, an email goes out. When a date arrives, a notification triggers. But six months later, nobody remembers why the automation exists or what it does exactly. The description field is empty or says 'notify team.' Maintaining automations becomes archaeology because nobody documented them properly when building them.
Long text fields never get used to their potential
Monday.com's long text fields are perfect for briefs, requirements, and detailed notes. But long text means long typing. You open the field, see the empty space, and think about everything you should write. Then you close it and move on because you have fifteen other items to update. The feature that should store institutional knowledge collects dust.

Real Scenarios
Writing detailed item updates that tell the full story
You just finished debugging a complex issue. Click on the item updates section, hold the button, and speak: 'Resolved the sync issue between the inventory system and the dashboard. The problem was a timezone mismatch in the API response. Applied the fix to all three affected endpoints. Tested with production data and confirmed accurate sync times. Tagging ops team to monitor for the next 24 hours.' Forty-five seconds of talking creates an update that captures everything. Anyone checking the item later knows exactly what happened.
Filling text columns across multiple items quickly
Your board has a requirements column that needs content for each item. Click into the first item's text column, hold the button, and dictate: 'Needs approval from legal before proceeding. Contact Sarah in legal by Thursday. Include the updated contract terms from the March revision.' Move to the next item, repeat. Ten items with detailed requirements in five minutes instead of thirty.
Status updates that stakeholders actually understand
Weekly status update time. Open the status update dialog, hold the button, and talk through it: 'This week we completed the vendor integration and began user acceptance testing. Main blocker is waiting on API credentials from the third party provider. Following up daily. Next week focused on completing UAT and preparing training materials. On track for the April launch date.' Real visibility in thirty seconds.
Documenting automations so your future self thanks you
You just built an automation that sends notifications when high-priority items are overdue. Click into the automation description, hold the button, and explain: 'This automation monitors all items with priority set to high. When the due date passes and status is not complete, it sends a notification to the item owner and their manager. Created to reduce overdue high-priority items which was a problem in Q1.' Six months later, anyone can understand and maintain it.
Populating long text fields with comprehensive briefs
A new project item needs a detailed brief. Open the long text field, hold the button, and talk through it like you would explain to a new team member: 'This project aims to redesign the customer onboarding flow. Current flow has a 40 percent drop-off rate at step three. Target is to reduce that to under 20 percent. Key stakeholders are product, design, and customer success. Timeline is six weeks with a soft launch in April.' A complete brief captured in two minutes of natural explanation.
Adding context during team standups
You're in your daily standup video call. Someone asks about an item. While still in the meeting, open the item, hold the button, and quietly dictate: 'Discussed in standup. Team agreed to push deadline by three days to allow for additional testing. Engineering will update timeline today.' The context is captured in real time without leaving the call or taking notes to transcribe later.
Writing board descriptions that onboard new team members
You've created a new board and need to explain how it works. Open the board description, hold the button, and talk: 'This board tracks all client implementation projects. Each group represents a client. Items are individual implementation milestones. Use the status column to indicate progress and the owner column for accountability. Update items weekly on Fridays. Questions go to the project management team.' New team members understand the board instantly.
