Voice to Text for Safari
Safari is where you spend most of your Mac time. Web forms, email, search queries, web apps, iCloud services. Every website wants you to type something. Blurt lets you speak instead. Hold a button, speak naturally, release. Your words appear instantly in any Safari text field. No browser extensions. No website permissions. No workflow interruption. Just talk and the text appears wherever your cursor is.
The Typing Problem
Web forms demand endless typing
Contact forms, support tickets, application fields, checkout addresses. Every website has forms that want your information typed out character by character. You're filling out the same shipping address for the hundredth time, typing the same detailed support request across different vendor sites. Your hands ache and the forms keep coming.
Webmail composing is slower than thinking
Whether it's iCloud Mail, Gmail, or Outlook in Safari, composing emails in the browser means typing at keyboard speed. Your thoughts come faster than your fingers can move. That important reply sits half-written because getting the words out takes twice as long as formulating them. Your inbox grows while your typing can't keep up.
Search queries get truncated
You have a specific question but typing it all out in the search bar feels tedious. So you type the short version and get mediocre results. You wanted to search 'best noise canceling headphones for open office environment under $300 with good microphone for calls' but you typed 'best headphones office' and now you're sifting through irrelevant results.
Web apps need constant text input
Project management tools, CRMs, note-taking apps, support dashboards. These web apps live in Safari tabs and demand continuous typing. You're updating task descriptions, adding comments, writing customer notes. Each text field is another typing session. By afternoon your wrists are burning and you still have a dozen web apps to update.
iCloud workflows fragment your typing
You work across iCloud Notes, Reminders, and Pages in Safari. Adding to your notes means switching tabs and typing. Creating reminders means more typing. Collaborating on a Pages document means even more. The seamless Apple ecosystem still requires you to type everything manually, one painful keystroke at a time.
How It Works
Blurt works on every website you visit in Safari. Any text field, any input box, any editable area. If your cursor can go there, Blurt can type there.
Hold your hotkey
Press your chosen shortcut anywhere in Safari. A small indicator shows Blurt is listening.
Speak naturally
Say what you want to type. Search queries, form fields, email content, comments. Blurt handles punctuation automatically.
Release and continue
Text appears in Safari's active text field. Submit the form, send the email, run the search. Move on with your day.
Real Scenarios
Filling out lengthy support tickets
The vendor's support form has six required fields including a detailed description. Instead of typing out your issue character by character, you hold the button and explain: 'The software crashes when I try to export files larger than 2 gigabytes. I'm running macOS Sonoma on an M2 MacBook Pro with 16 gigs of RAM. The crash happens immediately after clicking export and I've tried reinstalling twice.' Detailed ticket submitted in 20 seconds instead of 3 minutes of typing.
Composing webmail replies between meetings
You have 8 minutes before your next call and 5 emails need responses. Open iCloud Mail in Safari, click reply, hold the button, speak your response, release. Next email. Five thoughtful replies sent in 7 minutes because you spoke at 150 words per minute instead of typing at 40.
Detailed search queries that actually work
You need specific information. Instead of typing a truncated query, hold the button and say exactly what you want: 'How to configure macOS Keychain to sync passwords across devices when two-factor authentication is enabled on iCloud account.' The full query goes into Safari's search bar. Google gives you the exact answer on the first result.
Updating web-based project tools
Your team uses Asana, Jira, or Monday in Safari. Task updates, comments, and status notes all need writing. Hold the button, speak your update: 'Completed the API integration ahead of schedule. Moving to testing phase. Flagging a potential blocker with the authentication service that we should discuss in tomorrow's standup.' Detailed update posted while your hands stayed off the keyboard.
Adding items to iCloud Reminders via web
You're in Safari and remember something for your to-do list. Open iCloud Reminders in a tab, click to add a new reminder, hold the button: 'Call the insurance company about the claim before Friday and ask about the coverage extension.' Full reminder with context captured in 5 seconds.
Writing customer notes in CRM dashboards
After each customer call you need to log notes in Salesforce, HubSpot, or your CRM of choice. The call just ended and details are fresh. Hold the button and dictate: 'Customer is interested in the enterprise plan but needs approval from IT. Following up next Tuesday after their internal meeting. Main concern is SSO integration with their existing Okta setup.' Complete notes captured before you forget the details.
Collaborative editing in iCloud Pages
Your team shares documents through iCloud Pages in Safari. Adding your section means paragraphs of content. Instead of typing, hold the button and speak your contribution. Three paragraphs of meeting notes spoken in 40 seconds. Your collaborators see the updates appear in real time while you've moved on to your next task.
