Voice to Text for Notion Calendar
Notion Calendar (formerly Cron) brings elegant scheduling to your workflow, but typing event details still slows you down. With Blurt, you speak your meeting agendas and event descriptions instead of typing them. Hold a button, say your scheduling notes or event context, release. Text appears in any Notion Calendar field instantly. Perfect for adding rich context to meetings, capturing prep notes, or coordinating with attendees. Simple voice-to-text that works wherever you type in Notion Calendar.
The Typing Problem
Beautiful calendar interface, same old typing bottleneck
Notion Calendar's clean design makes scheduling feel effortless. Until you need to add a meeting description. Then you're back to hunting keys and crafting sentences character by character. The elegant interface can't fix the fundamental slowness of typing out context that you could explain verbally in seconds.
Meeting agendas get skipped because typing interrupts your flow
You know exactly what the meeting is about. You could describe it clearly in 20 seconds. But opening the event, clicking into the description field, and typing out the agenda takes 3-4 minutes of focused effort. So you send bare invites. Attendees arrive unprepared, and meetings run long because everyone spends the first ten minutes getting oriented.
Switching between Notion and Notion Calendar loses context
Your project details live in Notion. Your meetings about those projects live in Notion Calendar. Capturing the connection between them means typing notes in both places. You know what context to add, but the typing effort means you keep each sparse. The integration between Notion and its calendar should feel seamless, but your typing speed creates friction.
Quick scheduling turns into extended typing sessions
Someone asks for a meeting. You want to block 30 minutes with notes about what to discuss. Notion Calendar makes the time selection instant, but adding 'Discuss Q4 roadmap priorities, review resource allocation, and align on launch timeline' takes longer to type than the meeting will take to schedule. So you create another vague 'Sync' event.
Your calendar history tells you nothing useful
Looking back at last month in Notion Calendar, you see dozens of events called 'Meeting', 'Call', 'Check-in' with empty descriptions. You have no record of what was discussed, what was decided, or why those meetings existed. Your calendar should be a useful archive of how you spend your time, not a grid of meaningless time blocks.

Real Scenarios
Creating detailed meeting agendas between back-to-back calls
You have 2 minutes before your next meeting. Tomorrow's planning session needs an agenda. Hold your hotkey and speak: 'Agenda: Review sprint progress, discuss blockers on the API integration, prioritize features for the next release, and assign owners for documentation tasks.' Full agenda captured in 10 seconds. Attendees come prepared, and the meeting stays focused.
Adding preparation notes to one-on-one meetings
Your weekly one-on-one is scheduled, but you need to add talking points. Rather than typing, speak: 'Topics to cover: follow up on promotion timeline conversation, get feedback on the new project structure, discuss potential conference speaking opportunity in March.' Your direct report knows what to expect, and you have a record of your intended discussion.
Scheduling client meetings with full context
A client meeting needs details about location, preparation, and objectives. Hold and speak: 'Meeting with Acme Corp to review Q4 partnership results. Bring updated metrics dashboard and renewal proposal. Conference room B on floor 3, visitor parking available in the east garage.' All details captured, no separate emails needed.
Blocking focus time with specific goals
You need deep work time for a project. Instead of a generic 'Focus' block, speak: 'Focus time: finalize investor presentation slides, incorporate feedback from CFO review, update financial projections with Q3 actuals, and prepare speaker notes for each section.' Your future self knows exactly what past-you intended to accomplish.
Capturing meeting outcomes immediately after a call ends
The meeting just finished and you want to record what happened. Edit the calendar event and speak: 'Outcomes: Agreed to move launch date to March 15. Engineering to complete API integration by end of February. Marketing will prepare launch announcement draft by next Monday. Follow-up review scheduled for two weeks.' Your calendar becomes a searchable record of decisions.
Coordinating team events with logistics
Planning a team offsite requires detailed information. Speak once: 'Team offsite at Mountain View campus. Arrive by 9am for breakfast. Bring laptops for afternoon working session. Lunch and coffee provided. Parking in lot C with validation at reception. RSVP by Friday with dietary restrictions.' Everyone has consistent information without fielding a dozen individual questions.
Scheduling recurring meetings with evolving agendas
Your weekly team standup needs context for this specific occurrence. Click into the instance and speak: 'This week focus on the product launch checklist. Everyone prepare a 60-second update on their deliverables. Discuss open questions about the marketing timeline. Identify any blockers before the Friday deadline.' Each recurring event gets its own relevant context.
