Voice to Text for Quip
Quip brings your team's documents, spreadsheets, and slides into one collaborative workspace integrated with Salesforce. But typing detailed content across all these formats is slow. Blurt lets you hold a button, speak your thoughts, and release. Your text appears instantly in any Quip document, spreadsheet cell, slide, or comment. No copying, no pasting, no context switching. Just talk and write.
The Typing Problem
Sales documentation takes longer than the deals themselves
You just closed a complex enterprise deal. Your team needs the context: the stakeholders involved, objections overcome, custom terms negotiated. You could explain it all in a five-minute call. But typing it into a Quip document with proper sections and details takes an hour. By the time you finish documenting, you've lost momentum on your next opportunity.
Spreadsheet annotations become an afterthought
Your Quip spreadsheet has the numbers, but the context behind them is missing. Why did Q3 projections change? What assumptions drive the forecast? Adding text explanations to cells or embedding documents with context feels like extra work. The spreadsheet stays numbers-only, and teammates keep asking the same questions.
Slide decks stall on the writing
You're building a presentation in Quip for the quarterly business review. The structure is clear in your head. You could talk through it in ten minutes. But typing speaker notes, crafting bullet points, and writing the executive summary takes the entire afternoon. The slides that should take an hour consume your whole day.
Collaborative comments become terse or skipped entirely
You're reviewing a teammate's account plan in Quip. You have feedback: a risk they haven't considered, a contact who could help, context from a similar deal. But typing out thoughtful comments takes time you don't have between meetings. Your feedback becomes a two-word reaction or nothing at all.
Cross-functional documents never get your input
Marketing shared a campaign brief in Quip. Product shared the roadmap. Customer success shared the account health doc. Each one asks for your input. But by the time you find twenty minutes to type your thoughts, the document has moved on. Your perspective arrives too late to matter.

Real Scenarios
Documenting deal context while the details are fresh
You just finished a discovery call with a major prospect. The pain points, budget signals, and decision timeline are clear in your head. Open the Quip opportunity doc, hold the button, and talk through everything like you're briefing your manager. Five minutes of talking captures context that would take thirty minutes to type. Your deal documentation stays complete without stealing time from selling.
Adding narrative context to spreadsheet data
Your pipeline spreadsheet shows the numbers, but leadership wants to understand the story. Instead of typing explanations in adjacent cells or separate docs, hold the button and talk through the trends: 'Q4 projection increased because Enterprise deal velocity improved after we added the security certification. Three deals that were stuck in security review have now moved to negotiation.' Rich context captured in seconds.
Building presentation content at speaking speed
You're creating a Quip slide deck for the team all-hands. The agenda is set, you know what to cover. Click into the first slide's notes area, hold the button, and explain what you'll say as if you're already presenting. Do the same for each slide. Twenty minutes later, your presentation has full speaker notes and talking points. The typing that would have taken hours happened while you talked.
Providing substantive feedback on shared documents
A teammate shared their account strategy doc for review. You spot an issue with the competitive positioning and have context from your own experience. Instead of a quick thumbs up or a vague 'looks good,' hold the button and share your actual thinking: 'The competitor you mentioned has a new pricing model that changes this. I dealt with this in the Acme account last month. Here's what worked.' Genuine feedback in fifteen seconds.
Contributing to cross-functional planning documents
Product shared the quarterly roadmap in Quip and asked for sales input on customer priorities. You have five minutes between meetings. Hold the button and talk through the three features customers ask about most, with specific deal context for each. Your input makes it into the planning cycle because capturing it was fast enough to fit your schedule.
Real-time meeting notes in shared documents
You're in a customer call and the team is capturing notes in a shared Quip doc. Instead of typing while trying to listen, you focus on the conversation. During pauses, quietly dictate the key points into Blurt. Your notes appear in the shared doc in real time. The call ends with complete documentation already done.
Drafting emails and messages within Quip
You're working in a Quip document and need to send a follow-up email to the customer. Open the email section, hold the button, and speak the message naturally as if you were talking to them. 'Hi Sarah, following up on our conversation about the implementation timeline. Based on what you shared, I think we can get you live by end of March. Let me know if you want to schedule the kickoff this week.' Professional message drafted in thirty seconds.
