Voice to Text for Operations Coordinators
Operations coordinators are the communication hub of every organization. You're documenting processes, scheduling logistics, updating stakeholders, coordinating vendors, and generating reports — all while keeping a dozen plates spinning. Blurt lets you speak instead of type. Hold a button, say what needs to be documented, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Excel, Slack, email, your ticketing system, anywhere on your Mac. Stop choosing between thorough documentation and keeping operations running. Do both.
The Typing Problem
Documenting standard operating procedures that no one reads
You know how the process works. You've done it a hundred times. But turning that knowledge into a written SOP takes an hour of careful typing. By the time you finish documenting the current process, it's already changed. The SOPs fall behind, new hires get outdated instructions, and you spend more time answering questions than you would have spent keeping documentation current.
Sending status updates to multiple stakeholders
Every morning you need to update three different managers on yesterday's operations. Each wants different details — one cares about volume metrics, another about exceptions, the third about vendor performance. Writing three separate updates takes 45 minutes before you can start actual work. By afternoon, you're answering 'what's the status on...' messages because people didn't read the morning update anyway.
Coordinating with vendors across multiple channels
You're emailing Vendor A about a delayed shipment, messaging Vendor B on their portal about quality issues, and calling Vendor C about next week's schedule. Each interaction needs documentation. You finish the call with Vendor C and realize you should have noted the agreed delivery window, but now you're already on another task and the details are fading.
Writing operational reports with context that matters
The weekly ops report isn't just numbers — it needs context. Why did processing time spike on Tuesday? What's the plan for the holiday weekend? Leadership wants the story behind the metrics, but typing detailed explanations for each variance takes two hours. You end up submitting bare numbers with minimal commentary because there's no time for more.
Scheduling and communicating logistics across teams
The facilities team needs to know about the equipment move. The IT team needs to coordinate the network cutover. HR needs the timeline for the office reorganization. Each group needs different details in different formats. You're typing the same information five different ways into five different emails, and you're certain you'll forget to tell someone something critical.
How It Works
Blurt works in every tool operations coordinators use — Excel, Google Sheets, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, ticketing systems, vendor portals. Anywhere you can type on your Mac.

Real Scenarios
Documenting processes while you perform them
You're training a new coordinator on the invoice reconciliation process. Instead of writing up the SOP later from memory, you document as you go. Hold the button: 'Step one: Open the vendor portal and navigate to the invoices tab. Filter by date range for the current month. Step two: Export the invoice list to CSV. Step three: Open the reconciliation spreadsheet template from the shared drive. Import the CSV into the pending tab.' The SOP writes itself while you work. Documentation stays current because it costs nothing to update.
Sending morning status updates in minutes
It's 8:15 AM and three managers need updates. Hold the button and speak: 'Operations status for Monday: Processed 847 orders yesterday, up 12% from last Monday. Two exceptions flagged for review — both related to the new vendor integration. Vendor shipments on track, expecting delivery by 2 PM. Priority for today: clearing the exception queue and finalizing the Q1 inventory count.' One update, repurposed for three stakeholders, done in 90 seconds instead of 45 minutes.
Documenting vendor communications in real-time
You just got off a call with your logistics vendor about delivery schedule changes. Before you forget the details, hold the button: 'Call with TransLogix, January 15th. Agreed to move Tuesday deliveries to 7 AM instead of 9 AM starting next week. They will provide 24-hour advance notice if delays expected. Contact for escalations is now Jennifer Walsh. Confirmed rates hold through Q1.' The call is documented in 20 seconds while the conversation is still fresh.
Writing operational reports with meaningful context
The weekly report needs more than numbers. Hold the button and explain: 'Processing time increased 18% this week due to the system migration on Wednesday. The team spent additional time on manual verification while the automated checks were reconfigured. Expected return to normal metrics by end of next week. Recommendation: schedule future system updates for weekends to minimize operational impact.' Context captured in 30 seconds that would have taken 15 minutes to type.
Coordinating cross-team logistics
The office move requires precise coordination. Hold button: 'Facilities team: furniture disassembly begins at 6 PM Friday, moving crew arrives Saturday at 8 AM. IT team: please have workstations disconnected by 5 PM Friday, network equipment last priority. HR: employee communications should go out by Wednesday with the seating chart attachment. All teams: access badges will work at both locations through the transition period.' One dictation becomes three targeted emails.
Creating exception reports with full details
An order fell through the cracks and you need to document what happened. Hold the button: 'Exception report: Order 78432 for Acme Corp delayed three days. Root cause: shipping label generated with incorrect zip code due to auto-fill error in the new system. Detection point: customer called after tracking showed delivery to wrong city. Resolution: reshipped via overnight carrier at our cost. Prevention: adding zip code verification step to order entry checklist.' Full incident documentation in 40 seconds.
Building scheduling communications quickly
The quarterly inventory count needs coordination across locations. Hold button: 'Inventory count schedule for Q1: Main warehouse Friday January 24th, 6 AM start. Distribution center Saturday January 25th, 7 AM start. Satellite locations will count during normal hours week of January 27th. Count teams should arrive 30 minutes before start time for briefing. Please confirm your participation by Wednesday so we can finalize assignments.' Scheduling communication done in 25 seconds.
