Voice to Text for Social Media Managers
You spend your days writing posts, responding to comments, and crafting captions across a dozen platforms. Your fingers are tired and your creativity is drained from typing the same engagement phrases over and over. Blurt lets you speak your social content naturally while your ideas flow freely. Hold a button, say what you want to post, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Buffer, Hootsuite, Instagram, Twitter, anywhere. No copying from a notes app. No dictating to your phone. Just talk and create.
The Typing Problem
Writing dozens of social posts every single day
Your content calendar demands 5 posts per platform per day. That's 20+ pieces of content, each needing a unique voice and hook. By mid-afternoon, your hands are cramping and your captions all sound the same. You know you could write better posts if you weren't so exhausted from typing. The creative energy goes into your fingers instead of your ideas.
Responding to hundreds of comments and DMs
Community engagement is half your job, and it means typing variations of 'Thanks so much!' and 'Love this feedback!' hundreds of times per week. Each response needs to feel personal, but your wrists are screaming by Wednesday. You start avoiding the comments section because the thought of more typing makes you want to close your laptop.
Crafting captions that actually convert
The perfect caption is on the tip of your tongue. You know exactly what to say — you could pitch it out loud in 10 seconds — but translating that energy into typed words takes forever. By the time you've typed it out, the spark is gone. The caption reads flat. You know it would sound better if you could just say it.
Writing social strategy docs and reports
Your manager wants a monthly strategy doc. Your clients need performance reports with insights. You have all the analysis in your head, but typing 3,000 words about engagement rates feels like a punishment. The reports are always late because you keep procrastinating the typing part. The thinking is easy. The typing is torture.
Switching between platforms and losing your train of thought
You're in Buffer scheduling posts when you remember a comment on Instagram that needs a reply. By the time you've navigated there and started typing, you've forgotten the witty response you had in mind. Context switching kills your best ideas. Your fingers can't keep up with how fast your brain moves between platforms.

Real Scenarios
Batch-creating social posts for the week
It's content planning day and you need 30 posts across four platforms. Instead of typing until your hands hurt, hold your hotkey and speak each post naturally. 'New behind the scenes content dropping tomorrow. Set your reminders because you don't want to miss this one.' Post done in 5 seconds. Move to the next. Your whole week of content gets drafted in an hour instead of an entire afternoon.
Responding to comments during peak engagement hours
Your post just went viral and comments are flooding in. Instead of typing the same grateful responses, speak them with genuine energy: 'This made my whole day! So glad this resonated with you.' Each response takes 3 seconds instead of 20. You can actually engage with your community instead of just surviving the notification avalanche.
Writing Instagram captions that capture your brand voice
The photo is perfect but the caption needs to match. Hold and speak naturally, the way you'd tell a friend about the post: 'We spent three months perfecting this recipe and honestly? It was worth every burned batch. Link in bio for the full breakdown.' The caption sounds human because you said it like a human. No stiff corporate typing voice.
Drafting client strategy presentations
The quarterly review is tomorrow and you need to explain your social strategy. Instead of agonizing over each typed sentence, talk through your thinking: 'We're shifting focus to short form video because our Reels are outperforming static posts by 340 percent. Here's the content mix I'm proposing for Q2.' Your expertise flows into the doc without the typing bottleneck.
Creating LinkedIn thought leadership posts
You have an insight worth sharing but typing a 300-word LinkedIn post feels exhausting. Hold the button and share your perspective naturally: 'Hot take: engagement pods are killing your reach. The algorithm knows. Here's what actually works based on managing 15 brand accounts.' Your authentic voice comes through because you're actually speaking, not carefully constructing sentences.
Writing social media ad copy variations
The campaign needs 10 headline variations for A/B testing. Instead of staring at a blank document, rapid-fire speak your ideas: 'Limited time offer ends Friday.' 'Your competitors are already using this.' 'The tool every marketer is talking about.' Ten variations in two minutes. Testing can start immediately.
Documenting campaign performance insights
You've analyzed the numbers and know exactly why this campaign worked. Hold the button and explain it while the insights are fresh: 'The user generated content drove 3x more engagement than our produced content. Recommendation: shift 40 percent of next month's budget to creator partnerships.' Your analysis makes it into the report before you forget the details.
