Voice to Text for Slack
Slack messages pile up faster than you can type. Between channels, DMs, threads, and huddles, you're spending hours each day just keeping up with conversations. Blurt lets you reply at the speed of thought. Hold a button, speak your message, release. Your words appear instantly in any Slack input field. No copying, no pasting, no workflow interruption. Just talk and send.
The Typing Problem
Thread replies pile up during meetings
You're on a video call while threads blow up with questions. By the time the meeting ends, you have 15 threads waiting for your input. Typing out thoughtful replies to each one takes 30 minutes you don't have before the next meeting. The backlog never shrinks. You end up dropping threads entirely because you can't keep up.
Huddles plus typing is impossible
You're in a Slack huddle talking through a problem when someone asks for a link or document reference. You can't type while talking, and the conversation moves on before you can share what you promised. The chat transcript becomes a graveyard of things you meant to send but never did.
Quick status updates between tasks
Your team expects updates in the project channel. You just finished a task and need to say 'Completed the API integration, moving to testing now.' But typing it out means context switching from your code editor. By the time you've written the update, you've lost your momentum for the next task. Updates get skipped or delayed.
Your DMs have become a second inbox
Direct messages from teammates, managers, cross-functional partners — everyone wants your attention. Each DM requires a response, and each response means more typing. You're spending an hour a day just on DM conversations that could take 15 minutes if you could just talk instead of type.
Searching and responding breaks your flow
You Cmd+K to search Slack for that message from last week. You find it. Now you need to respond with context about what happened since then. Switching from search mode to typing mode to thinking mode burns mental energy. The simple act of finding and replying to a message shouldn't feel so exhausting.
How It Works
Blurt works anywhere you type in Slack — channels, DMs, threads, canvas, huddle chat, even the search bar. Anywhere there's a cursor.

Real Scenarios
Clearing thread backlogs between meetings
You have 10 minutes before your next call and 8 threads waiting for replies. With Blurt, you click into each thread, hold your hotkey, speak your response, release, and send. Eight thoughtful replies in 8 minutes instead of 30. You walk into the next meeting with an empty thread queue for the first time this week.
Sharing links during huddles without stopping the conversation
Someone on the huddle asks for that design doc you mentioned. While still talking, you hold the button, say 'Here is the design doc link' and paste the URL. The message appears in huddle chat. You never stopped talking, never lost your train of thought. The link is shared before anyone forgets they asked for it.
Quick project updates to keep the team informed
You just deployed a fix and need to update the team channel. Instead of switching mental contexts, hold the button and say 'Deployed the hotfix for the login timeout issue. Monitoring for the next hour but looks stable so far. Will send all-clear when confirmed.' Update posted in 5 seconds. Back to monitoring without skipping a beat.
Responding to DMs while working on something else
Your manager DMs asking for a quick update on the project timeline. You're deep in code but the question needs an answer. Hold, speak 'On track for Friday delivery. Just finishing up the integration tests today and will do final review tomorrow morning.' Release, send. DM handled in 6 seconds. Your code context survives.
Detailed thread responses that actually help
A teammate asks a complex question in a thread. The answer requires context. With typing, you'd write something brief and unhelpful just to save time. With Blurt, you hold the button and explain fully: 'This is happening because the cache invalidation runs on a 5-minute delay. Check the Redis config to adjust the TTL. I can walk you through it after standup if that helps.' Helpful answer. No typing fatigue.
Searching and responding in one fluid motion
You need to find that conversation about the Q4 roadmap and add your input. Cmd+K, type your search, find the thread, click reply, hold button, speak your thoughts, release, send. The whole flow takes 20 seconds. Finding and contributing to old conversations stops being a chore.
Canvas documentation without the typing burden
Your team uses Slack Canvas for project notes. Adding your section means typing paragraphs of context. Instead, you click into the canvas, hold the button, and talk through your update naturally. Three paragraphs of documentation spoken in 45 seconds. The canvas actually stays up to date because updating it stopped being painful.
