Voice to Text for Product Managers
Your job is thinking through products, not typing about them. Hold a button, say what you need to write, and release. Your PRD section, user story, or stakeholder update appears instantly in Notion, Linear, or wherever your cursor is. No copying, no pasting, no learning curve. Just talk and type.
The Typing Problem
PRDs that take all afternoon to write
You know exactly what the feature should do. You could explain it to anyone in two minutes flat. But typing it out with proper formatting, edge cases, acceptance criteria, and technical constraints takes three hours. Your brain has moved on to the next problem while your fingers are still documenting the last one.
User stories pile up in your head
You just finished a customer call with five golden insights. By the time you type up the first user story in Linear with all the acceptance criteria, the other four are fuzzy. The best ideas slip away while you're formatting the previous one. You end up with one detailed story and four half-remembered bullet points.
Stakeholder updates during back-to-back meetings
You promised the CEO an update by EOD. It's 4pm, you have two more meetings, and you haven't started. Now you're half-listening to a design review while guilt-typing a status email on the side. Neither task gets your full attention. Both suffer.
Figma comments that interrupt your review flow
You're clicking through a prototype, spotting issues fast. Your brain is in review mode, catching usability problems and edge cases. But stopping to type each piece of feedback breaks your rhythm. By the time you finish one comment, you forgot where you saw the next problem. The review takes twice as long as it should.
Your wrists hurt and you still have 47 Slack threads
Product management is 80% communication. Writing specs, answering questions, explaining decisions, aligning teams. That means typing all day, every day. Your hands ache by Wednesday, but the roadmap questions and sprint planning docs keep coming. You're not even thirty-five and your wrists already protest.
How It Works
Blurt works in every tool product managers use daily: Notion for PRDs, Linear for tickets, Slack for updates, Figma for feedback.

Real Scenarios
Drafting PRD sections between meetings
You have 12 minutes before your next call. Hold the button, talk through the problem statement, user impact, and success metrics you've been thinking about all morning, release. Three paragraphs appear in Notion. You just wrote what would have taken 25 minutes to type. That's enough time to grab coffee before the next meeting.
Writing user stories during customer interviews
A customer just described their workflow problem perfectly. They're still talking, giving you more context. You hold the button and quietly say 'As a procurement manager, I want to export vendor reports to Excel so I can share with finance without granting them system access.' The user story lands in Linear before the call ends. You captured their exact words, not your memory of their words an hour later.
Quick Slack updates while multitasking
Engineering asks about the priority for a bug fix. You're deep in a slide deck for tomorrow's board meeting. Hold the button, say 'This is a P2. Let's fix it after the launch but before the sales kickoff next month. Can you estimate effort and add it to the backlog?', release. Response sent in five seconds, no context switch. Your brain never left the slides.
Figma feedback in real-time
You're clicking through a new checkout flow, catching issues as fast as you can click. You see the button placement is wrong. Hold the button, say 'Move the continue button above the fold on mobile because users might miss it down here, and consider making it a fixed footer element', release. Comment added. You keep reviewing without losing your place or your momentum.
Acceptance criteria for complex features
The edge cases are clear in your head. You've thought through every scenario. Hold the button and rattle off: 'Given the user has admin permissions, when they click delete, then show a confirmation modal with the text Are you sure you want to delete this project, and require typing the full project name to confirm. Given the user is not an admin, then hide the delete button entirely.' Five acceptance criteria documented in 90 seconds.
Sprint retrospective notes
The team is debating what went wrong with the last release. You're facilitating but also need to capture insights for the action items. Hold the button during natural pauses, quietly dictate the key points: 'Deployment process needs earlier QA involvement. Team agrees we should add staging environment checks before prod deploy.' Meeting notes are 70% done before the retro ends.
Roadmap justifications for leadership
You need to explain why Q2 priorities changed after the customer research findings came in. Instead of staring at a blank Google Doc, hold the button and talk through your reasoning like you would in a meeting with your manager. Explain the tradeoffs, the data, the customer quotes. Three minutes later, you have a first draft. Clean it up and send. Total time: ten minutes instead of an hour.
